Koueigiku Mikatsuki Tojo Yamadanishiki "Crescent Moon"

The nose on this ridiculously good sake is a cool collection of lemon cake, cream puff, honey tea, yeast, whipping cream, brown sugar, tangerine, and floral aromas. If you like our Kougaku Hello Omachi True Sake Select then you will love this brew made with super premium Tojo Yamadanishiki brewing rice. Fresh, bright, lively, zesty, and impactful this sake has great glucose and body but drinks light and buoyant. How do they do that? Look for peach, lime, honey and herbs, maple syrup, lemon tea, and a very nice vein of umami with a nicely balanced finish. This is a very cool bottle to bring to a sushi counter or a steakhouse. WORD: Balanced WINE: Bright reds/Crisp Whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, oysters, Champagne fare, foie gras, crab, lobster, sweet shrimp, steak tartare, and prime rib.
