Wakatake Onikoroshi Junmai Daiginjo "Demon Slayer"

Talk about a nice aromatics on this ultra-popular single pasteurized Daiginjo! Look for plum, melon, and peach scents in a sake that drinks with far more pop in a wine glass. This Demon Slayer is a semi-fruity brew with a unique dryness that speaks to wine drinkers. There is a flashy tail and an alertness that pings the 17% alcohol content. Good acidity with good hints of peach and tangerine elements, in a fluid that has presence on the palate. As the fluid warms in the glass, look for rich semi-sweet licks of honey and citrus. The current Master Brewer (Toji) likes this sake coming into room temp, as there are great temperate flavors and a fatter feeling. WORD: Popular WINE: Elegant reds/Complex whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: Cuisines that like big white wines.
