SOTO x Yamagata Masamune Omachi Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo

The nose on this highly crafted “single tank” sake from the legendary Yamagata Masamune sake brewery is a clever collection of pear, green apple, honeydew, molasses, peach, and mineral water aromas. Have you ever wanted to taste a high-end sake that checks all of the boxes? Using premium Omachi brewing rice, made using the traditional “Kimoto'' or pole-rammed technique, and featuring an elevated acidity level this single-pasteurized brew would appeal to wine drinkers and those who love “technique-driven” sake. Clean and layered, zesty, fresh with a slippery complexity, and featuring a peek-a-boo acidity with a crisp finish this SOTO rocks a wine glass. Look for Asian pear, apricot, citrus, melon, and minerals on a silky flow. Lively and tasty, this “project” sake is absolutely worth trying as they only made one tank and you have a chance to be a part of sake history. WORD: One Tank WINE: Zesty Reds/Crisp Whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: Ceviche, charcuterie, cheese plates, grilled white fish, duck confit, risotto, and ponzu dishes.
