Sake, Junmai, Hakushika, Yamada Nishiki, Hyogo, Japan 300ml
$8.49
If you want to try a truly fine Sake at a bargain price, the Hakushika Junmai is a must buy. The source of "miyamizu" or "heavenly water" flowing from the Rokko Mountains in the Hyogo Prefecture has provided the base for the Tatsuuma family's Sakes since 1662. Made from Yamada Nishiki rice "arguably the best Sake rice type", this is a delicate and ethereal Sake that serves as a splendid aperitif.
Aromas of honeysuckle, melon, and tangerine are followed by a delicate texture with melon and Citrus flavors and a clean finish. The Hakushika Junmai is a fine match for poached or sautéed whitefish, sushi, roasted vegetables, or light chicken recipes.
