Takachiyo 59 Chapter 6 Junmai Ginjo Muroka Nama Genshu "Miyamanishiki" UPDATED

The nose on this unpasteurized “Nama” is a glorious collection of blueberry, honey, watermelon, plum, and powdered sugar aromas. Takachiyo is cool! Everything about this brewery is cool, including their "blueprint" style of making sake. You can literally taste their “theme” in each of their products, and True Sake will always have Takachiyo on its shelves. "Miyamanishiki" is no exception, and is actually our team’s favorite pick these days. Juicy, round, fleshy, lively, and bright, this drinks with impact and great attention to flavor with a killer uplifting dry finish. Takachiyo has created the perfect bridge for the union of fruit tones and umami in one sip. Look for pear, apple, fig, honey, grape, and melon flavors with an umami vein that travels the length of the palate. This is not silly fruity sake. Rather, it is serious fruity sake that appeals to those who are fascinated with how rice and water can taste like ripe pear and figs in honey. WORD: Fruity WINE: Fruity Reds/Juicy Whites BEER: Fruity Ales FOODS: cheese and fruit plates, crab, lobster, shrimp, some international spice, shellfish salads, and pate.
