IMAYO TSUKASA BLACK JUNMAI extra dry

A matte black bottle with a black cap and a dark label featuring Asian characters and abstract geometric designs.

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.
