Suehiro Densho Yamahai Junmai "Ancient Method"

The nose on this superb traditionally made Yamahai sake is a gentle collection of rice, bread, and cocoa elements. Bingo! A great sake at a great price point! This is a terrific "feel-good-in-the-mouth" sake that is super smooth and super round, with a gentle sweetness of tangy citrus and sweet rice. Talk about velvety! The fluid of this sake is soft and heavy, but that amazing feeling is perfectly matched with unique flavors. Have you ever wanted to drink a lemon cookie with powdered sugar on top? This is a very solid introduction to a Yamahai sake that has many attributes of an old-school brew. WORD: Smooth WINE: Soft Reds/Round Whites BEER: Clean Ales FOODS: Anything off the grill, salty fare, smooth pastas.
