Wakatake Onikoroshi Junmai Ginjo "Demon Slayer"

The nose on this sake is a gentle collection of blueberry, melon, sweet rice, and apple tones. This "Demon Slayer" drinks far more controlled and drinkable than the former version, as it is slightly more reserved and dry. The fruit pops are gone, but there is a gentle collection of fruit elements such as ripe pear, cooked grapes, and other fruit components with a hint of blueberry. Even and well-balanced, this brew has a new smoothness that does well in the mouth. Semi-fat, semi-dry, and a lurking rich subtle sweetness that only comes forth as the fluid warms. That is why the Master Brewer at Oomurya Shuzo likes drinking this at room temp. WORD: Smooth WINE: Pinot Noir/Fat whites BEER: Creamy ales FOODS: Very versatile and can stand cuisines from salty and savory, to spicy with big acidity.
