DEWAZAKURA TOKUBETSU YAMAHAI JUNMAI

出羽桜　特別山廃純米

Available in 720ml

Tasting Comment:

‘Tokubetsu’ means ‘special’ in Japanese. This sake is produced from Yamagata local rice called Haenuki and polished down to a premium level of 55%.

Sake made with Haenuki rice gives smoothness to Sake. Sake made by the Yamahai method is commonly high in Umami, acidity, and complexity.

The combination of Dewazakura’s house style, rice character and Yamahai method led this Sake with a more modern lighter style Yamahai showing white pepper on the nose, and white mushroom and creamy texture on the palate. Finishes with fresh acidity and a hint of bitterness.

Food Suggestion:

Sushi, sashimi, fried foods such as tempura, and hearty foods such as tonkatsu pork, braised chicken, and miso-flavoured hot pot.

Ingredients: Rice, Koji Rice, Sake Yeast
