Yoshi No Gawa Gensen Karakuchi 'Kome Dry' Honjozo Sake - 300 ml
Introduction
This sake is produced in Japan, in the Niigata prefecture. The Yoshi no Gawa Sake Brewery is the oldest brewery in the celebrated sake-producing region of Niigata, and the fifth oldest operating sake brewery in Japan, having been founded in 1548. The sake is produced using traditional methods, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Wine Description
The sake is colourless. The aroma has soft notes of tropical fruits and subtle earthy notes, with hints of cypress, raisin liqueur, and fig also mentioned. The style is extra dry, as 'Karakuchi' means 'dry' and 'Gensen' means 'specially selected'. On the palate, it has a tight structure with notes of citrus, vanilla, green apple, and tapioca. The flavour profile is well balanced, clean, and crisp, with a savoury aspect and mild sweetness. It is a Honjozo sake, meaning a small amount of brewer's alcohol is added to enhance the aroma and texture. The rice used is grown in Japan, specifically Niigata rice, and it is polished to approximately 65%. The sake has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of around 15%. The finish is long and dry. The sake is ready to drink upon release, and can be served chilled, at room temperature, or warm. This product is not specified as organic in the sources.
