Brewed at Kinoshita Brewery in Kyoto Prefecture. Toji Brewmaster is Philip Harper who produces this cult classic annually for release in the Japanese summer.
Made from Nihonbare rice grown in Shiga Prefecture.
Funky aromatics of sweet, damp chestnut, malted biscuits and steamed rice with an undeniable fruity start then refreshing finish with hints of fennel, shiitake mushroom and super ripe melon.
Food matches – Very versatile, full-bodied sake that can handle rich food flavours, grilled, marinated chicken and beef, mushroom risotto, grilled eggplant and capsicum, blue cheese and ice-cream.
Serve chilled. Philip Harper recommends serving this sake over ice – the ice gives this sake a creamier texture and as it melts it the flavour profile changes.
Keep refrigerated during storage and after opening.
