Matsunotsukasa Junmai Daiginjo "Tosui" 2022

The nose on this classy Shiga sake is a gorgeous collection of tangerine, snow melt, powdered sugar, blueberry, mango, Muscat, pear, and honeydew aromas. The gorgeous nose carries over into an equally gorgeous flavor field of ripe pear, rock sugar, kiwi, watermelon, strawberry, tangerine, minerals, and a superb vein of vanilla. Silky smooth, bright, round, buoyant, semi-sweet, with an off-dry finish, this sake drinks very elegant and balanced. And best of all, within all of the elegance and superb flavors, you’ll find a deep umami attitude that makes this sake drink refreshing and complex, which is really cool! Chilled and in a white wine glass makes this sake magical. WORD: Gorgeous WINE: Elegant Reds/Refreshing Whites BEER: Vanilla Ales FOODS: Champagne fare, lobster, oysters, caviar, crab, shrimp, and complex hors d'oeuvres.
