NV Tengumai Kimoto Jikomi Junmai NV 720ml

The Tengumai Kimoto Jikomi Junmai NV is a true embodiment of Japanese craftsmanship and tradition. This sake, produced by the esteemed Tengumai brewery, is a testament to their mastery of the kimoto method, a traditional and labor-intensive approach to sake production. On the nose, delicate notes of steamed rice and freshly cut grass mingle with fragrant hints of white flowers. On the palate, a subtle sweetness is balanced by a crisp acidity, creating a harmonious and smooth texture. The flavours of ripe pear and almond interplay with a lingering umami quality, leading to a long and satisfying finish. In the glass, this sake is a pale straw colour, with a slight cloudiness that is characteristic of the kimoto style. Served slightly chilled, the Tengumai Kimoto Jikomi Junmai NV is a perfect accompaniment to a wide range of Japanese dishes, from sushi and sashimi to grilled meats and vegetables. This is a truly exceptional sake that showcases the excellence of Japanese sake-making.
