Shotoku “Karaku” Tokubetsu Junmai Kimoto
Kyoto prefecture
Holds hidden strength
The name translates to “Kyoto, city of flowers,” and sets the tone for this sake. Some flowers are soft with a gentle aroma, and others are bright with bold scents. This particular brew is the latter. It’s malty aroma and amber hue hint to its strong, rich flavor brought forth using the kimoto method. The expertly layered flavor pairs wonderfully with steak or other dishes dripping in richness.
