With so many odd shapes, colors, and flavors that forms a tasty tapestry that is so unique and delicious. This is one of those sakes where it is fun to exhale after your sip it! Why? Because it is so many different things in a wonderfully balanced fluid that feels great in the mouth. Thick, fat, chewy, and solid it drinks smooth and fleshy with a subtle citrus tingle and a splash of minerals. Round and viscous there is a grittiness and a flinty character that is so intriguing sort of like taking a bite out of a tightly packed snowball. The best balance for this brew is found in a mid-sized cup, which produces hints of maple syrup and ash with a touch of powder sugar. A wine glass produces a long tail, and an ochoko makes the brew smooth and beefy.

We have been enjoying our recent Jyoku seasonal releases and this summer white bear is no exception, as it drinks very much to their formula of crisp, clean, and bright sakes with high acidity and wine-like dryness and astringency. Fleshy, rich, edgy, zesty, and frisky, this bear drinks with a brashness and freshness that evokes warm summer nights. At 17% ABV, it packs a little punch with all of those flavors like young peach, young pear, grape, blueberry, biscotti, mint, clover, fennel pollen, and a salt-water finish that is quick and compact. This sake pairs well with rich and strong flavored dishes, and has more growl than the cute label might lead to believe. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Crisp \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Savory Reds\/Crisp Whites \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBEER:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Tight Ales \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOODS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Filet mignon, hamburger, American sushi, chicken and fish karaage, stewed pork, ginger pork, stir-fried udon, soba, and simmered fish in soy broth.
