This slighty earthy sake, with a hint of nuttiness, a mellow aroma with a light finish. A flavor you’ll never tire of, it also can be gently warmed if desired. This is also a namachozo, meaning it was pasteurized once after ageing. This is a light and versatile sake.
Named after a “deep pine forest,” Okunomatsu represents over 300 years of brewing tradition in Fukushima. This Tokubetsu Junmai sake is made with Akitakomachi rice and is a Namachozo, meaning it’s pasteurized only once to preserve its fresh, lively character.On the nose, it offers an intriguing blend of honeydew melon, Asian pear, and strawberry cream cheese-a soft and delicate aroma profile. The palate is clean and dry, with layers of apple, banana, and pear, finishing with a subtle nutty dryness that lingers gracefully.Pairing Suggestions:Versatile and refined, this sake pairs beautifully with butter-sautéed foie gras, soft shell crab tempura, shrimp tempura, roast duck, vegetable quiche, and ceviche. Also a great pallete cleanser.
