Tasting note
Reticent, elegant, refined, citrusy. Floral, yet earthy aroma laced with cedar and cider with a hint of smoke. Medium to light bodied. Dry, intense, and balanced; soft creamy texture with a round finish of concentrated Bosc pears. Reminiscent of a clean mountain stream.
Food pairing
White fish & shellfish – raw, steamed or grilled. Spiced poached lobster, White meat – Poussin, Poached turbot with Champagne sauce. Rabbit Chops with fresh Fines Herbes – This super premium sake with its reticent refined elegance will shine with this center dish of delicate seared rabbit loin garnished with freshlyhomemade angel hair pasta, all sharing the fresh herb butter sauce. Braised Sweetbread with Chestnuts – This complex layers of flavors needs the complexity of the Junmai Daiginjo, rich and refined, bold and subtle at the same time, savory but still a little off-dry, earthy but not rustic.
