Hakucho no Jun Junmai Ginjo Nigori

Hakucho no Jun Junmai Ginjo Nigori
One of Miyoshikiku’s three special releases for MIRAI SAKE INTERNATIONAL.
A nigori (“cloudy sake”) made with Yamadanishiki rice. Upfront refreshing notes, followed by a rich umami flavour. Surprisingly crisp compared to usual nigori, this sake is at the same time easy-drinking and satisfyingly full-bodied. The character on the label is Jun the Swan, from the 1970s anime “Science Ninja Team Gatchaman”.
TYPE: Nigori junmai ginjo undiluted sake (genshu)
COLOUR: Slightly hazy with very light lees
OUR TASTING NOTES: Delicately sweet nose with distinctive rice porridge notes and a hint of melon. More savoury on the palate, with subtle notes of caramel and white chocolate, followed by a bitter finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Grilled eel (unagi no kabayaki); liver pate; stilton cheese. The brewers recommend trying to pair with both Western and Japanese dishes.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Slowly turn the bottle upside down a few times until the sediments are mixed evenly. Serve well chilled (4-8 ºC)
