Daitengu Usake Spring Junmai Ginjo (BTL 720ml)

This bottle is a Sake Gumi selection featured in July 2023 "Fukushima Days"

Saori Kobari, the toji of Daitengu, brews this sake four times a year to celebrate the changing seasons using Yume no Kaori (a rice local to Fukishima), spring water from Mt. Adatara, and a local yeast strain called Utsukushima Yume. Light, fresh, and off-dry, it complements lively dishes with fresh ingredients.

We get notes of melon bread, grass, and blueberry on the nose with notes of yogurt, navel orange, and a bit of savory bell pepper on the palate. It took me months to realize that Usake sounds like Usagi (rabbit)! Drink chilled or room temp with Sushi, salads, and spring chicken dishes
