Akishika Okarakuchi Muroka Nama Genshu "Super Dry"

The nose on this crazy dry sake is filled with dried fruit, wet wood, cocoa, and vanilla aromas. Pretty much this is now the driest sake in the store and it’s unpasteurized to boot. Go figure! For all you fans of really bone dry sakes, this brew takes the cake with a super quick fluid that is loaded with rice tones. Not only dry this sake has an alcohol content of 19.5% that speaks to clear liquor drinkers and foodies who like taking the oil out of dishes. A mid-sized glass is a better vessel to capture the unique flavors and enhances the dryness without poking a stick at the very high acidity. Crisp, tight, and compact this sake sings the tune of dryness. WORD: Ultra Dry WINE: Dry reds/Crisp whites BEER: Crisp ales, IPA FOODS: Salty savory fare that needs the salt to subside.
