Product Description
Tasting Notes:
Built specifically for pairing with mushrooms, this umami-rich and earthy sake offers unique notes of koji yeast and Asian pear, blending savoury and subtly sweet flavours. Miso, caramel, and cedar add complexity, creating a layered and intriguing profile. With low acidity, it pairs beautifully mushrooms (obviously) as well as with sushi and sashimi, complementing the delicate flavors of raw fish, and enhances the taste of tempura, and deep-fried foods. The wine also works well with fatty tuna, salmon, and dishes with delicate vinegars or teriyaki.
