Akishka Muroka Nama Genshu "OKARAKUCHI" Sake 720ml
| Description: | Prefecture: Osaka. Rice Variety: Yamada Nishiki. Rice Polishing Ratio: 60%. Acidity: 2.2. Sake Meter Value (dryness Level): +18 (super Dry!). The driest sake we've ever carried!. Okarakuchi is a full-bodied, very dry sake with pronounced acidity & sweet-fruit tones. It has an intensely spicy nose with hints of honeydew melon and lychee. The palate on the Okarakuchi certainly possesses a mineral-like dryness that lingers with balanced acidity. In spite of its high alcohol content, this sake does not have a strong alcohol aftertaste & will continue to show greater depth as it ages---yes, ages! This sake improves and mellows with age, even after opening. Akishika Brewery is situated in mountains between Kyoto and Osaka in the Kansai region of Japans main island, a rich land of terraced rice paddies and dense bamboo forests. All of the rice used at Akishika Brewery is locally grown, contracted to local farmers committed to sustainable farming practices. The 12th generation brewery owner of Akishika is also proud to have pioneered new methods of seasonal composting and flooding of the fields that enable him to grow all his rice naturally, without additives or chemical pest control. Founded in 1886, Akishika has acquired a reputation amongst connoisseurs as a producer of top-quality sake with a robust and unique character. Because they are dedicated to not using any charcoal filtration, the full flavors of their carefully grown rice are able to shine. Food Pairing: : Oysters, tempura, sushi, pickled veggies and cured meat. |
