From the importer Perfect Pairing Trading:

Class: Kijoshu (貴醸酒) / Junmai Daiginjo
Rice / Origin: Taichu 65 (台中六十五號), Shimane Prefecture
Polishing Ratio: 50%
ABV: 14–15%
SMV & Acidity: Non-public

Brewed in the kijoshu style, this sake replaces part of the brewing water with sake itself. Each year’s vintage includes a portion of the previous year’s brew—part of Taiun’s 100-Year Project—layering time and complexity. Expect a floral nose and a silky, opulent palate with notes of caramel, grapes and bubble gums, finishing remarkably clean for the style. 

Serving: Best served chilled in a white-wine glass; also shines at cellar
temperature (12–14°C).

Pairings: Taiwanese lobster salad, ankimo (monkfish liver), blue cheese, roast duck with orange, soy-glazed eel, dark chocolate desserts. Beau’s pairings: smoked meats and foie gras.
