Product details
Imagine you are walking through a lush pine forest, the trees alive with sweet bird song and warm sun filtering through the leaves. That’s how it feels to drink Okunomatsu “Tokubetsu Junmai.” Its light, nutty aroma gives way to a soft sweetness that is attractive to almost anyone’s taste. An earthy finish completes this masterpiece and leaves you refreshed as if you just took a deep breath of pristine mountain air.
Okunomatso Tokubetsu Junmai Sake shows as clear silvery straw color. Sweet aromas and flavors of honeydew melon, strawberry cream cheese, Asian pear, coconut cake, seasoned seaweed snack, and lemon-lime cordial with a silky, soft, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a smooth, buoyant bazooka gum and brandied bananas finish. A slightly savory Tokubetsu sake with excellent balance for a special dinner pairing.
Enjoy this sake chilled, room temperature, or warm with Butter-sauteed foie gras, soft shell crab tempura, shrimp tempura, roast duck, vegetable quiche, and ceviche.
