Ohmine Omachi "3 Grain"

The nose on this specially released Ohmine is a vast collection of melon, pear, peach, mint, oatmeal, lychee, honey, and mandarin aromas. We all know this exciting brewery from Yamaguchi, but do you know this product made with the very flavorful and exciting rice varietal called Omachi? Clean, smooth, slippery, viscous, plump, chewy, and mid-to-full bodied, this brew drinks with a little effervescence, and little tingle, and a little sweetness that rolls with a juicy acidity play. Look for mango, ripe pear, apple juice, tangerine, simple syrup, creamsicle, cotton candy, and sweet milk flavors that gush through the palate with cantaloupe and honey tea finish. Say hello to a richer and more plump version of Omachi sake from your favorite makers.

The nose on this special sake is a glorious collection of peach, Asian pear, lychee, mandarin orange, rose water, lime, cereal, and steamed rice aromas. First of all, the brewers at Ohmine Shuzo love doing their own thing, and all of their brews drink with style, personality, and grace. So we were very excited for their efforts with one of our favorite rice varietals called Omachi. They hit their 3 Grain Omachi out of the park! It’s excellent, and a very classy version of Omachi that’s not to be missed. Soft, smooth, juicy, round, layered, expressive, lush, and silky with a dry finish makes this one of the most balanced Omachi sakes in the business. Look for nectarine, pear, apple pie, strawberry, pineapple, blueberry, jackfruit, and green fig flavors that roll on a super light, gentle, and balanced flow with a low ABV of 13% that is easy and refreshing. Great for beginners, and even better for the experts out there. WORD: Balanced WINE: Soft Reds/Fruity Whites BEER: Fruity Light Beer FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, crab, lobster, shellfish, steamed white fish, ponzu dishes, and grilled chicken.
