Daisekkei Summer Release Junmai Ginjo

The nose on this new fan-favorite summer released  sake is a very Ginjo-like collection of pear, melon, Muscat, lychee, citrus, kiwi, cilantro, apple, kiwi, Granny Smith candy, and watermelon aromas. Rich, light, silky, slippery, soft, and a little water-like, this sake is bright, dry, and refreshing, with an integrated acidity that speaks the language of wine. Made with Miyamanishiki brewing rice from Nagano, there is a lot of summer umami to this brew with apple, lime, kiwi, mandarin, vanilla, grape, papaya, cucumber, mint, lemon iced tea, and a hint of konbu dashi flavors that dry as they exit the palate. Light, clean and dry, this refreshing brew is blue for a reason! WORD: Juicy WINE: Lively Reds/Fruity Whites BEER: Fruity Ales FOODS: White fish sashimi, tempura, carpaccio, simmered fish and veggies, sautéed scallops, grilled meat and fish, octopus karaage, and yakitori.
