Ippongi Japanese Namazake Junmai Daiginjo Sake Limited Seasonal Edition 720ml (Winter Shiboritate Honjozo Namazake (18% 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. Winter Shiboritate Honjozo Namazake (18% By Vol.) - This variation on Denshin Tsuchi (available year round) is the first batch produced at the start of the new brewing season, bottled and shipped unpasteurised immediately after pressing so it retains its freshness and just-brewed aromas and flavours. It has twin aromas of orangey citrus and Muscat grape sweetness. On the tongue there is a momentary impression of sweetness before the lively sharp finish of just-pressed sake cleanses the palate. Ideal food pairings are dishes or sauces with depth of flavour but also a refreshing twist, for example sesame dressing, pork with fresh ginger, or roast beef with plenty of horseradish. It also goes well with fried foods like deep fried oysters or crab croquettes. For fish, a particularly good match is simple white fish sashimi, such as red sea bream.
