Sawahime 澤姫
Sawahime Junmai Ginjo Premium Origarami Nama (720ml)
澤姫 純米吟醸 プレミアム 折がらみ 生
井上清吉商店㈱, 栃木
Inoue Seikichi Shoten, Tochigi
Tasting Notes: Fruity aromas of lychee and white peach give way to a slight effervescence unique to nama (unpasteurised) sake, a blast of summer freshness.
On the palate there is a contrasting enjoyment of umami and dryness, with a spicy bitter chocolate like finish.
Best enjoyed chilled at 7-10 degrees celcius.
Pairs wonderfully with dishes using butter, cream, and other dairy flavours.
