Senjo Junmai Daiginjo

The nose on this Nagano-style sake is a big collection of cherry, strawberry, mango, pear, honey, pineapple, and sugarcane aromas. Say hello to a huge fruit basket of flavors on a chunky flow, with tons of impact, and a long spicy finish. Right off the bat, you get the fleshy sweetness that has an SMV of -15 and an elevated acidity of 1.8, that lifts all of those fruity flavors. Look for pear, apple sauce, strawberry, fleshy mango, cherry, and lunch box fruit cup flavors that glide with a full smoothness across the palate. Big and sweet, this is a vast and lush Junmai Daiginjo that is made with local Nagano Hitogokochi milled to 40%, and drinks with largeness that pairs well with complex fare. WORD: Sweet WINE: Fat Reds/Chunky Whites BEER: Fruity Ales FOODS: Lobster, crab, cheese and fruit plates, American spicy and saucy sushi, pate, foie gras, and vinegar-based dishes.
