per True Sake The nose on this special Tokubetsu Junmai is a very cool collection of pear, grapefruit, lemon, peach, mango, lychee, and apple skin aromas. Smooth, clean, juicy, and almost water-like, this is one of those sakes that drinks almost "wet dry". And best of all, it’s that glorious word “drinkable.” It’s not fair really, because some brews are just so tasty that no matter the price, it’s just delicious and there’s nothing you can do about it (except drink it!). Slippery with a medium body, there is a very subtle acidity play that you barely notice because you’re so taken with the flavor. Look for an array of subtleties like Asian pear, papaya, grapefruit, pineapple, lemon curd, peach, and sweet rice flavors, with a touch of shibumi (astringency). WORD: Drinkable WINE: Clean Reds/Easy Whites BEER: Light Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, shellfish, oysters, grilled fish and fowl.

Although the cultivation of organic sake rice is still limited, the organic sake rice used are “Yamadanishiki”, “Kinmonnishiki” and “Fukunohana”. Fukumitsuya have been cooperating with sake-rice farmers since 1960 and began cultivating organic sake rice in 2006. Kagatobi Organic Junmai is the fruit of these two natural ingredients and the brewing skills of Fukumitsuya.

Enjoyed it, initially thought it was a little too fruity but saw some tannins later on
