Koshi no Kanbai Amane Junmai Ginjo "Easy Rider"

We have a personal store policy at True Sake that basically states we always want to have a Koshi no Kanbai product on our shelves. Why? Because Ishimoto Sake Brewery (makers of Koshi no Kanbai) are legendary. Everybody should try this brewery’s sake at some point. The nose on this brew is a slick collection of nougat, vanilla, white bread, bamboo, fresh mochi, and sweet nut aromas. Say hello to the “Easy Rider,” which we jokingly call the "Easy Slider" as it is smooth, silky, gentle, water-like, clean, slender, slippery, and easy. First and foremost, you will notice a nice umami slide that is made all the more slippery with the low 14% ABV that drinks almost creamy. Look for macadamia nuts, wheat crackers, corn flakes, nougat, oatmeal, spring water, unripe bananas, and minerals, on a silky flow that opens up in a wine glass. Isn’t it time you try Koshi No Kanbai? WORD: Smooth WINE: Pinot Noir/Creamy Whites BEER: Creamy Ales FOODS: Yakitori, shabu shabu, grilled fish, pasta, tofu dishes, and sole in butter sauce.
