Product details
Oze No Yukidoke Ohkarakuchi Junmai is a distinguished sake crafted by Ryujin Shuzo, a historic brewery founded in 1597 in Tatebayashi City, Gunma Prefecture. The brewery's name, meaning "Dragon God," reflects its deep-rooted connection to the region's natural resources, particularly the soft underground water sourced from the renowned "Ryujin-no-Ido" well. This pristine water, combined with traditional brewing techniques and meticulous craftsmanship, allows Ryujin Shuzo to produce sake that embodies both heritage and innovation. The brewery's commitment to quality is evident in its hands-on approach, from rice polishing to fermentation, ensuring each bottle captures the essence of its origin.
This Junmai sake is brewed using Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 60%, resulting in a light-bodied, super dry profile that appeals to Muscadet enthusiasts. Tasting notes reveal hints of wet stone and a crisp finish, making it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes. Its versatility shines when paired with foods like chicken hotpot, fried dishes, simmered kabocha, okonomiyaki, southern BBQ, ham and cheese omelets, orange chicken, and carnitas. With an alcohol content of 17%, Oze No Yukidoke Ohkarakuchi Junmai offers a refreshing and clean experience that complements both traditional Japanese cuisine and contemporary fare.
