Tatenokawa Shield Junmai Daiginjo Kameno-o

619 kr

Shield 亀 の 尾   純 米 大 吟 釀

The Shield series is brewed with historic, local rice cultivars that have excellent fermentation ability and flavor complexity, with the intention of protecting them for the future generations. This Junmai Daiginjo is brewed with Kameno-o sake rice, a regional Yamagata variety. The aroma from the glass is fresh and mildly fruity. The first impression of the taste is characterized by a veil of tiny bubbles. Appetizing notes of tropical fruit, or more precisely lychee begin to appear. A viscous, yet clear flavor that is incredibly seductive. Kameno-o rice has a reputation for producing a refined bitterness that bites a little. This acidic note balances the flavor, which also contains creamy notes and rice sweetness.

Serving: Pour slightly chilled at around 16 degrees when the flavor is fresh and crisp.

Food pairing: This sake goes great with delicate, fresh notes in langoustines or scallops. As summer approaches, pour Shield with freshly picked peas in pods and burrata.
