Ichinokura Tokubetsu Junmai Hiyaoroshi

The nose on this single pasteurized seasonally released brew is a wide
collection of grapefruit, papaya, Sprite™, orange Creamsicle™, and steamed rice aromas. Say hello to Miyagi sake happiness that is soft, round, light, and smooth. There are some wine-like hints including tannin-like dryness, astringency, and a tantalizing acidity play that appeals to wine-heads, but this is all rice and water magic. Look for young pear, cantaloupe juice, watermelon, nectarine, and pomelo flavors with a classic lemon peel finish. Behold some more savory caramel and crème brûlée tones as the fluid warms in the glass. If you like it light and silky for the holidays, then this is your brew! WORD: Citrus WINE: Tight Reds/Crisp Whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: Izakaya cuisine, yakitori, grilled fish, turkey wings, fatty silver skin fish, and ponzu dishes.
