Tenjo Mugen Tokubetsu Junmai "Umakuchi" TRUE SAKE EXCLUSIVE

The nose on this True Sake Selection is an amazing collection of cereal, cocoa, brown sugar, yam, nougat, whipped cream, custard, molasses, mochi, and malted aromas. Exclusive to True Sake, this is a super drinkable rich-lite brew that is clean, but velvety with an emphasis on soft umami, and a slipperiness that excels in a wine glass. Smooth, creamy, round, fluffy, buoyant, with a water-like plumpness, and a silky texture, it drinks more elegantly as it warms. Look for milk bread, caramel, roasted peanuts, butterscotch, brown sugar, pudding cup, vanilla bean, marshmallow, crème brulee, peanut brittle, chocolate malt balls, and a luscious load of umami with a world-class finish. More umami and cocoa appear as the fluid warms, and behold a slippery goodness in a sake that punches way above its price-point.
