Attention  junmai lovers! This is a delicious, balanced brew with a velvety body. While floral on the nose with hints of spice, it has an ume-like tartness and a dry ending. The kurabito (sake brewers) at Asamai also grow their own rice – this selection is an homage to the toji (master brewer) who passed last month suddenly while working in their rice field. He made sakes to specifically support a meal, and in our case, it was a simple margherita pizza with anchovies. Drink chilled.
