This Daiginjo represents the cumulation of Kikuhime Brewery's knowledge in sake production and aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKukurihime is an intricately complex sake with a supple, dry character. Through aging, the initial fruity Ginjo aromas of melon and green apple have matured into intricate scents of incense and sandalwood, while vibrant flavors are balanced by a delicate nutty essence. After a decade of aging, Kukurihime achieves a harmonious balance, poised to develop further over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRound mouth-feel, deep umami with sweetness, sharp aftertaste.\u003cbr\u003eBest serve at 46-60°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePairing; Sushi, sashimi, Yakitori w\/salt, Tempura w\/salt, Chilled or warmed tofu, Edamame, Chicken piccata, Quiche Lorraine w\/bacon and spinach,\u003cbr\u003eStuffed cabbage roll, Stir-fried scallops and asparagus, Steamed crab dumpling, Bacon and Chinese cabbage cream soup, sautéed shrimp and tofu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JPSA","offers":[{"title":"720ml","offer_id":46757340184819,"sku":"DG309-02","price":836.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/files\/DG309-02_KikuhimeDaiginjoKukurihimeAged10Years_720ml_WM.png?v=1740874726"},{"product_id":"shishi-no-sato-junmai-chokara-super-dry","title":"Shishi no Sato Junmai \"Chokara Super Dry\"","description":"","brand":"SKURNIK","offers":[{"title":"720ml","offer_id":47605464367347,"sku":"JH265-02","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/files\/JH265-02_ShishinoSatoJunmaiChokaraSuperDry_720ml_WM.png?v=1754016324"},{"product_id":"shishi-no-sato-shun-junmai-ginjo-origarami-nama","title":"Shishi no Sato Junmai Ginjo Origarami Nama \"Sake Mirai\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe nose on this first time to the US unpasteurized Nama sake is a glorious collection of cucumber, radish, melted ice, white grape, Asian pear, and steamed sweet rice aromas. It’s always fun to discover sake perfection or to taste a brew at the best moment possible as it performs a delicious miracle. Made with a very “elite” rice varietal called Sake Mirai milled to 55% that is only offered to a handful of sake breweries, you can taste the impact and magic immediately. But first know that this maker is best friends with the brewer of Juyondai and he wants to whisper his amazing sake and not YELL like Juyondai. But the drinking similarities on this brew are undeniable. In a word, this sake drinks rich and royal, but it’s actually light and fresh. It has a zesty elegance that is almost a tingle, but it’s too cool for that. There is a very faint and gentle sweetness, which is perhaps the soul of the rice, and subtle flavors of grape, sugar cane, sweet berries, blueberries and perhaps your favorite sugar cube. There is a confectionery powdered sugar in Japan called wasanbon, and this fresh, tantalizing flavor emerges from the depths of this masterpiece. Simply magical sake drinking at its very best. \u003cstrong\u003eWORD: \u003c\/strong\u003eDelicious \u003cstrong\u003eWINE: \u003c\/strong\u003eSoft reds\/Semi-sweet whites \u003cstrong\u003eBEER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light Ales \u003cstrong\u003eFOODS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sushi, sashimi, fresh crab, sweet shrimp, steamed lobster, cheese plates, fresh fruit salads, and honeydew. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SKURNIK","offers":[{"title":"720ml","offer_id":47605473837299,"sku":"NA95-02","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/files\/NA95-02_ShishinoSatoJunmaiGinjoOrigaramiNamaSakeMirai_720ml_WM.png?v=1754016163"},{"product_id":"kikuhime-yamahai-junmai-1","title":"Kikuhime Yamahai Junmai","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis massive brew has a monster nose filled with chocolate, earthy, musky, soy-sauce, and aged-sake (koshu) elements. How can so much flavor be offset with such excellent acidity to create superb balance? Who knows and who cares when drinking one of the true sakes of the sake world sakes! If you like your brews dirty with large and expansive flavors of dark chocolate, tangy fruit, and a distinct gaminess then hold on to your hats for one of the most unique and “Yamahai-ish” sake in the market. Smaller cups bring forth more koshu-like qualities with chewy old fruit, and larger vessels produce more rich and tangy expressions that tingle on sour.
