Tsukasabotan “Senchu Hassaku” Hiyaoroshi

Tsukasabotan “Senchu Hassaku” Hiyaoroshi

Kochi prefecture

$45.00

Bold yet balanced

This seasonal release is a “hiyaoroshi” brew, meaning that it’s brewed with rice that was harvested in the previous fall, then pasteurized in spring and stored. As it matures, it develops crisp flavors and aroma. Being a genshu, this sake has a higher alcohol content and bold flavors. The medium acidity is balanced with umami and a dash of sweetness. Pair with strong flavored dishes to match this sake’s power.
