Miyasaka Shuzo Masumi 'Aka' Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Sake - 720 ml
Produced by Miyasaka Brewing Company, the "Aka" (Red) is a flagship expression named after the vermillion color of official stamps used throughout Asia. It belongs to Masumi's signature four-color palette lineup, which is designed for daily enjoyment. This sake is brewed using the traditional yamahai method, a labor-intensive process that allows natural lactic acid bacteria to thrive, resulting in a more complex and savory profile than modern methods. It exclusively features the brewery's legendary "Association Yeast No. 7".
Description
This yamahai sake is clear in appearance but possesses a "rare amplitude" and depth. The nose is bright and fragrant, showcasing aromas of banana, red plums, and stone fruits, complemented by subtle dairy notes of yogurt and cream. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture. Flavors of tropical fruit and chestnut are underpinned by a refreshing lactic acidity and a robust savory umami. It is crafted from a blend of Yamada Nishiki and Miyama Nishiki rice polished to 55%. ABV 15%.
Food Pairing
Masumi Aka is specifically designed to bring the flavors of rich, well-seasoned foods into "sharp relief". Its high acidity and structural umami make it an exceptional match for Western-style meat dishes and aged cheeses. It pairs brilliantly with sukiyaki, grilled mushroom risotto, or even pizza with plenty of vegetables and cheese. For a more traditional experience, serve it alongside braised pork or hearty stews. This sake is highly versatile across temperatures: enjoy it chilled to highlight its fruity top notes, at room temperature for balance, or gently warmed to expand its creamy umami.
