Heiwa Shuzo KID Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate Fuyu Release

The nose on this winter released unpasteurized brew is a gorgeous collection of mandarine, peach, grape, pear, raspberry, blue raspberry ICEE™, powdered sugar, and fruity aromas. Lively, bright, slippery, tingly, frisky, and fruity, this seasonally released sake is all Kid, all day long with juicy fruit tones that rock in a wine glass. Slightly brash, and punchy, this active brew has tickles of acidity and a nice shibumi play that says “yes” to wine drinkers. Look for peach, melon, nectarine, young pear, strawberry, rock sugar, watermelon, crème brulée, sourdough, and snow melt flavors with a very quick finish for all of those looks. Made with Gohyakumangoku brewing rice, this brew fits very well within the Kid brewing template. WORD: Lively WINE: Fruity Reds/Bright Whites BEER: Fruity Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, white fish, crab, shrimp, and lobster.
