Dainagawa Akita Sake Komachi Junmai Ginjo "Twin Hearts"

The nose on this Akita sake is a cool collection of kiwi, strawberry, mango, orange, and banana bread aromas. Made with Akita Sake Komachi brewing rice milled to 55% and house yeast D-29, this sake is all things Dainagawa, including the man who turned this sake brewery around with a promising future in the international sake market. Look at that label! And yes the fluid matches the feel. You can really taste and feel the super soft subterranean aquifer water that they use to make this beauty. Soft, smooth, silky, gentle, elegant, round, clean, and very water-like, the fluid is a masterpiece in slippery-and-juicy sake. Look for strawberry, powdered sugar, mango, papaya, melon, cotton candy, sugar cane, and strawberry smoothie flavors that glide across the palate in a lovely umami flow that is velvety smooth. “Twin Hearts” is a can’t miss sake that is perfect for gifting, and excels in a white wine glass. WORD: Smooth WINE: Round Reds/Silky Whites BEER: Creamy Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, shrimp cocktail, fresh crab and lobster, cheese and fruit plates, gently-spiced fare, spicy tuna rolls, and small grain caviar.
