Shinkame 20 Year Aged Junmai "Mahoto" Size:720mlThe nose on this incredible 20 year aged sake is a killer collection of walnut, lemon rind, button mushroom, black pepper, dark chocolate, miso, butterscotch, dashi, fig, raisin, soy sauce, and moss. We love Shinkame and this masterclass in sake making started over 20 years ago tank aging then bottled upon request. Meaning they kept tasting it and then released it when it was perfect. Made with Gohyakumangoku milled to 60% the brewers were looking for
and lime flavors with a clean and quick finish
overly ripe fruit
and this is one of them
Made using Omachi (milled to 50%) brewing rice from Okayama Prefecture
bitter melon
Look for tons of plums
and you get a very fun sake from first sip to the strawberry goodbye
opulent palate with notes of caramel
Oh and let's talk about that stunningly beautiful bottle it comes in
A great food pairing brew that works like a deep red wine
and everything from the ocean
dry and gripping
