The nose on this fan favorite seasonally released late spring unpasteurized sake is a vast collection of pomelo, lemon, pineapple, radish, raspberry, sunflower, and yogurt aromas. Made using local Niigata Koshiibuki sake brewing rice milled to 90% (that’s like sushi and table rice milling levels with 10% being milled away) and with an elevated acidity level, this is very fresh, crisp, and lively. As the brewer states, “It has a sweetness and acidity reminiscent of fruit yogurt or pineapple.” Zesty, frisky, edgy, juicy, rich, effervescent, and brash, the feeling is very expressive, just like raw sake from the tank. Look for Asian pear, nectarine, grapefruit, green apple, fresh ginger, persimmon, tangerine, and grapefruit candy flavors that jump and jive in a white wine glass. WORD: Lively WINE: Zesty Reds/Crisp Whites BEER: Zesty Ales FOOD: Sushi, sashimi, spicy tuna rolls, steak, hamburger, tempura, yakitori, pasta with meat and seafood, sukiyaki, carpaccio, and tacos.
