OriginKochi, Japan
From the sake bottle
A reserved aroma, gentle rice notes, perfect acidity and a fine finish combine to create the unique flavor profile of Suigei Tokubetsu Junmai. Chilling creates a freshness that is quite pairable with many dishes, but warming it reveals a wide reverberating breath of flavor and harmony.
