Sake One Junmai Daiginjo "Naginata"

The nose on this stylish sake is an excellent collection of grape, apple, mango, berry, rice cracker, and pineapple aromas. Using Yamadanishiki from Arkansas that is milled to 40%, this is perhaps one of the best internationally made Junmai Daiginjo produced outside of Japan. Master brewer Takumi Kuwabara makes this premium brew in batches to achieve the best and most flavorful sake that rivals the finest Japanese-produced sakes. Ethereal, nuanced, smooth, round, and very elegant, a white wine glass extols the semi-viscous and balanced fluid. Look for melon, pear, grape, berry, mango, strawberry, and sweet rice flavors that drink fleshy with a quick finish (kire). Congratulations Sake One for making a world-class sake that should not be missed by any sake enthusiasts. WORD: Elegant WINE: Soft Reds/Fruity Whites BEER: Fruity Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, Champagne fare, grilled fish and chicken, shellfish.
