Fukumitsuya Kagatobi Gokken Junmai Sake - 300 ml
Fukumitsuya Kagatobi Gokkan Junmai originates from Kanazawa in the Ishikawa Prefecture of Japan. Founded in 1625, Fukumitsuya Sake Brewery is the oldest sake producer in Kanazawa and is currently led by 13th generation owner Matsutaro Fukumitsu. The brewery operates as a 'Junmai Gura', meaning it exclusively produces pure rice sake without added alcohol, utilizing exceptionally pure water fed by snowmelt from Mount Hakusan.
Description
This sake takes its name from the legendary, tough firefighters of the historic Kaga mansion and is brewed specifically during the coldest winter months (Gokkan) to ensure optimal fermentation. It is clear in appearance and offers a gentle aroma of ripe fruits such as banana and apple, alongside notes of steamed rice, mushroom, and fresh herbs. On the palate, it provides a silky attack with a harmonious balance of fresh acidity and rich umami, followed by a slight, agreeable bitterness. It is a dry and sharp sake with an alcohol content of 15% and a rice polishing rate of 65%.
Food Pairing
The dry and sharp profile of Kagatobi Gokkan makes it an exceptionally versatile companion for a wide range of dishes. It pairs seamlessly with Japanese staples such as sushi, gyoza dumplings, ramen, and fried shrimp. Its earthy umami notes also complement Western style appetizers like fish escabeche, oil sardines, and mushroom risotto. This sake is unique for its ability to be enjoyed at various temperatures, from chilled at 10°C to highlight its fruitiness, to warmed at 45°C to enhance its savoury rice characteristics.
