IMAYO TSUKASA BLACK JUNMAI extra dry
Extra dry, clean and super smooth sake to pair with contemporary Western cuisine like steak, hamburger, grilled or braised meat (at least 3 times drier than regular Junmai sake and full of umami ). The rich umami finish enhances the savoriness of each dish
Tasting Notes: Subtle hint of umami rich kombu dashi with slight pepperiness ending in warm aroma of freshly cooked rice. Dry and bright acidity reminiscent of a Gruner Veltliner or Sancerre followed by rich savoriness with a slight hint of ripe banana in the finish. Savory finish that cleanses the pallet for the next bite.
