Kirei Tokubetsu Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu

The nose on this unpasteurized and undiluted (no extra water added) sake is a wide collection of pear, apple, powdered sugar, orange, frosting, yeast, and pancake aromas. Say hello to a raw and wildly delicious beast that is big in feeling and flavor, and gets your attention with a 17% ABV slap to your pie hole. Semi-thick, viscous, chewy and plump, this brew glides through the palate with a slow lively crawl that fills all the nooks and crannies with a grainy flow that is rich and velvety. There are a host of frisky flavors that include cookie dough, lemon custard, young pear and banana, tangerine, and Asian pear, with a fat umami finish. This Nama Genshu drinks you as much as you drink it. WORD: Large WINE: Wicked Reds/Fat Whites BEER: Stouts FOODS: International spice, street fare, beach fare, tacos, pizza.
