Fukumitsuya Momotose 20 Year "Nokuju"

“Fukumitsuya has been working on long-term aged sake from early on. What is the best sake rice for giving great power of time, and what kind of preparation should be done? It is “Momotose” that the romance that obtained the know-how of sake brewing, which anticipated the result of the long process of storage and aging, and made the finished sake after 20 years came to fruition.” – Fukumitsuya Sake Brewery

“The color is brilliant light-amber. Intensified aroma of cacao, almond, maple, chocolate, sweet spice, and toasted nuts. The taste is dry and balanced, with umami and a deep sweetness in the palate and a gentle acidity with flavors of elegant chocolate, Christmas cake, fig, butterscotch, and Crème Brûlée. It pairs well with spices and deep flavored dishes, meat dishes, charcuterie, aged natural cheese, and desserts such as chocolate or cream-based dishes.”
