Akitabare "KOSHIKI JUNZUKURI" Junmai Sake 720ml "NORTHERN SKIES"
| Description: | James Suckling - 94 Points. A particularly gentle style of Junmai that is an accurate expression of how delicate sake can become as you work your way to the north of Japan. There is a clean and crisp mouth feel to compliment the sake's slightly sweetened rosewater undertones. Rice is Ginjno Polishing 64%. Alcohol 14.5%. Akitabare Koshiki Junzukuri "Northern Skies". Akitabare is the kind of sake one can drink enjoyably for hours at a stretch. Its subdued, understated refinement evokes a sense of the northern province where it is meticulously brewed. Pleasingly dry and quite mild, a well-crafted traditional sake. This Junmai has a plum nose with subtle grass tones. The first sip has a fairly dry start filled with hints of lemon, plum, and grape skin tones. The viscosity is slick and shimmering and the overall feel is soft and balanced. This Junmai is a classic "three sipper" which means you need to realize three sips to find the soul and beauty of this semi-dry Junmai. Sake Meter Value: +3. Acidity: 1.8. Prefecture: Akita. Food pairing: Incredibly versatile. Enjoy with a variety of foods. |
