Kubota - Seppou Soujo Junmai Daiginjo Sake (500ml)
This refined sake entices with its harmonious blend of sweetness and tartness, while vibrant notes of muscat grapes and musk melon dance on the palate. A subtle whisper of umami, derived from Niigata's prized Gohyakumangoku rice, adds depth and complexity, inviting you to savor each sip.
Meticulously crafted with a 50% rice polishing ratio for the koji and 33% for the mash, this Junmai Daiginjo reveals the essence of its exceptional ingredients. Its bright acidity transforms when warmed, unveiling a richer, creamier dimension that complements hearty winter fare like broths and roasted vegetables. Served chilled, it harmonizes beautifully with lighter dishes, from delicate crudo to creamy cheeses.
"Seppou" translates to "white," a fitting name for this sake aged at near-freezing temperatures to preserve its fresh aromas and delicate flavors. Each sip evokes the spirit of hanami - the Japanese tradition of celebrating the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms.
