Shishi No Sato Junmai Chokara Super Dry 720ml

A beautifully dry and spicy sake, slightly nutty, with the characteristic Shishi no Sato clarity. Pairs beautifully with the “mountain cuisine” of rural Ishikawa, smoky dishes of grilled game meats, miso based stews, braised daikon radish and river trout. A “chokara” (super dry) sake in the Onigoroshi (“dry enough to kill a demon”) style. Enjoy aromas of lemon and cooked white rice. Then take in flavors of umami, and a tartness that ends satisfyingly dry, with a hint of spice. This clean spiciness makes this sake primed for pairing with foods with strong flavors including mapo tofu, onion rings, or mussels escabeche. Fumiaki Matsuura, owner and toji of Matsuura Shuzo explains, “I wanted to flavor and sharpness to coexist, so I used Hattan Nishiki rice, which gives a full body flavor that expands on the palatte, so that it won’t be overpowered by oily dishes.” Recommended at room temperature or warm.
