Ookura Special Junmai Yamahai Koji Four-stage Fermentation Hitogokochi

4.5

For white wine and Rosé lovers. This is packed with acidity and has a smooth sweetness. Versatile for pairings of stronger seasoned and hearty dishes. This sake is “pressed” without any pressure giving it a very fresh and juicy profile. The acidity and umami derived from Ookura’s mix of traditional and modern brewing techniques is unmatched in anything I’ve ever tasted before.
