HeavenSake Junmai Ginjo "Hakushika"

The nose on this brew that was specially formulated by Regis Camus for Tatsuuma-Honke Brewing Co. is a fun collection of bread, cereal, marshmallow, cream of wheat, honeydew, jasmine, and ocean water aromas. Light, smooth, semi-rich, plump, round, and silky, this brew does not drink like fruity Ginjo sakes, rather it is more on the umami and ricey side. Look for cereal, nougat, graham cracker, toast, marshmallow, and fried ice cream flavors that glide through the palate with sweet rice licks, and a quick clean finish. This is a confident Ginjo that warms well in the glass. WORD: Plump WINE: Pinot Noir/Creamy Whites BEER: Creamy Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, light fare, grilled chicken and fish, cuisines with salinity.
