Ippongi Japanese Namazake Junmai Daiginjo Sake Limited Seasonal Edition 720ml (Summer Junmai Daiginjo Sake (17% by vol.))

Ippongi Sake is a famous Japanese sake brand. Ippongi Sake strives to create sake with a unique and delicious flavor profile. Ippongi Sake is known for its high-quality sake products. They produce a range of sake types, including Junmai, Ginjo, Daiginjo, and more. These terms refer to different grades of sake, with Junmai being the most basic and Daiginjo being the highest grade, made from the best-quality rice and with the most meticulous brewing techniques. Summer Junmai Daiginjo Sake (17% by vol.) - This is the limited edition unpasteurised summer version of Denshin Rin, made solely from the rare sake rice Koshinoshizuku. The sake in these bottles is produced by the fukurozuri method, an extremely delicate and labor intensive gravity drip method of pressing where the mash is placed in cloth bags and the sake is allowed to drip out naturally. First impression is an aroma reminiscent of lily of the valley. The mouthfeel is one that can only be produced by gravity drip, clean and completely transparent. A lingering aftertaste with sweet pineapple-like notes is ideal for thirsty summer nights. Pork is an ideal match for this sake. It also goes perfectly with sliced roast ham or prosciutto. Cheese is also an excellent accompaniment, particularly as Natsu works wonderfully with the rounded umami of cheeses like Gouda or Camembert.
