Made with local Miyagi rice called Kura no Hana milled to 55%, this brew was built to push acidity and umami in the direction of a bowl of hot ramen, and it does! Smooth, round, plush, velvety, lush, slippery, watery, soft, tubular, and with a tannin-like drying effect, this brew drinks smooth and round with a very quick finish. It is very well balanced, which is very cool for all of the complexities in each sip. Look for rice pudding, pumpkin pie, salt water taffy, graham cracker, macadamia nut, nougat, malted vanilla, sea salt, salted caramel, and a bucket load of umami that cries out to be paired with any type of ramen. Great Junmai sake on its own, and an even better dance partner with foods like ramen or global comfort foods. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUmami \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ePinot Noir\/Creamy Whites \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBEER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Belgian Ales \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOODS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Ramen anywhere and anyhow plus most other comfort foods known to mankind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JIZAKE QUEST","offers":[{"title":"720ml","offer_id":48442200260851,"sku":"JH319-02","price":35.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/files\/JH319-02_HousenNaminoOtoTokubetsuJunmaiSusuruSakewithRamen_720ml_WM.png?v=1769991168"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.truesake.live\/collections\/miyagi.oembed","provider":"True Sake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
