Tonoike Junmai Daiginjo Yumesasara "Sai"

The nose on this special and limited sake is a vibrant collection of grape, pomelo, blueberry, honeydew melon, lemon zest, and hint of white chocolate aromas. Are you ready to taste Tochigi-style premium sake? Are you ready to taste a sake that is only available at True Sake for the West Coast? We love Tonoike sake and you will too. This “Sai” is a very expressive sake that is designed for tingly impact and liveliness with a crisp, bright, and zesty acidity play that appeals to wine drinkers. Made with local Tochigi rice Yumesasara milled to 45%, look for blackberry, orange, kumquat, lime zest, honeydew, nectarine, pomegranate, ginger, pear, lychee, berry, and finger lime flavors that “burst” onto the palate with delicious impact and a tantalizing citrus finish. A smaller vessel delivers more crispness and friskiness, and a wine glass brings a nice umami underbelly.
