Hatsusakura Junmai "First Love"

The nose on this new and exciting brew is a bright collection of cherries, oranges, apples, pumpernickel bread. Have you ever wondered if a sake can taste like apples? Are you an apple connoisseur? Great texture and great depth. There's a little glucose, with a nice bright acidity play. Light and slippery, but also silky. Notice the layers of flavors such as apple sauce, apple juice, green Jolly Rancher™, orange peel, limoncello sorbet, caramel apple, and lemon tart on a layered and silky flow. How can only rice and water taste like this? A very bright and unique flavor profile that has found a slot on our True Sake shelves. There's nothing quite like this. If you are an apple fanatic, then this is the brew for you. WORD: Apple WINE: a Flora Springs Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc from 2014 BEER: Apple ciders FOOD: Bacon, porkchops, a pan seared steak, roasted chicken from Zuni Cafe, a big hearty California salad, all kinds of nuts. -Chris
