Otokoyama Tokubetsu Junmai "Haru no Izanai"

The nose on this seasonally released pasteurized Spring sake has a colorful collection of peach, grape, orange creamsicle, Clementine, strawberry, Yakult, mochi, yogurt, and white miso aromas. From one of our favorite breweries, this is a new seasonal offering that drinks very much how the bottle looks: clean, light, water-like, round, delicate, refreshing, and elegant with a soft finish. Look for lychee, raspberry, peach, apple, lemon water, orange, and unripe strawberry flavors that dance on a "New School" fluid that is fresh and fun. With an 11% ABV, this sake appeals to light sake drinkers and warm days. WORD: Light WINE: Soft Reds/Light Whites BEER: Light Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, light summer cuisines, cheese and fruit plates, grilled white wish, and shellfish.
