Konteki Daiginjo "Tears of Dawn"

The nose on this flavorful Daiginjo is a collection of cherry, mango, tropical fruit, powdered sugar, and marigold elements. This is a very unique and sneaky brew that drinks so easy, but is so complex. It is supremely smooth and soft (in a Kyoto water kind of way), and there is a very sublime peek-a-boo sweetness of pear, apple, and powdered sugar licks that beg the question, "Are they there or not?" Most of the flavorful impact comes at the end of the sip and is late in the swallow – how cool is that? These “Tears of Dawn” are absolutely tears of joy and happiness in a glass! WORD: Soft WINE: Soft Reds/Chewy Whites BEER: Balanced Ales FOODS: Clean fare like sashimi and shellfish, and gently cooked dishes.
