Heirloom rice shows some drama

Senkin “Classic” Kamenoo is the more mature expression of the heirloom rice, compared to the Senkin “Modern” Kamenoo. With juicy ripe stone fruit acidity, some cocoa nib notes that support the structure and a comforting calmness to the aftertaste, you wouldn’t guess it’s still purely made of rice, water, yeast and koji. They recommend this slightly chilled in a Bordeaux wine glass, or warmed up in a ceramic “ochoko.”
