Akita Takashimizu Junmai Daiginjo Sake
This is a rich and fragrant sake with flavours of pear and apple. It is very well balanced with a dry finish. Sake is surprisingly versatile, it goes well with many Western recipes, perhaps even better than wine or beer.
Product Description
The company is organised like a cooperative: many small brewing families united in 1944 to produce sake together. The brewery itself is located in the heart of the Akita prefecture, at a point where three rivers meet. The brewers are renowned for a quality-first philosophy and the area’s water has been regarded as the purest in Japan since the Samurai period. The Takashimizu range is named after the hill on which the ancient Akita castle once stood.
Clear with a nickel cast. Aromas of pineapple, nut brittle, and honeycomb with a evolving, silky fruity-yet-dry medium-full body and a long, polished, spiced apple, sweet cream, caramelized yam, and grassy earth accented finish. A rich, yet dry and very elegant Daigingo.
