  • Description

日置桜　強力　純米大吟醸
Hiokizakura brewery is one of the few breweries that revived the rare strain of rice, Gouriki, that has not been grown for years. By milling away more of the outer shell of the Gouriki rice, the slight hint of acidity is removed, resulting in a more balanced and rounded version of the Gouriki Junmai Ginjo.
Tasting Notes:
A subtle nose of wheat and rice with a rich, smooth taste and a long dry finish. This sake opens up when it’s slightly warmed to 45°C. The character changes and acidity is more prominent with earthly flavor more pronounced.
This sake is excellent with:
  • Curries/Stews
  • Burgers/Sub-Sandwiches
  • Pastas/Noodles/Rice Dishes
  • Savory Pies
