♦Tasting Note

“Kinshi Masamune Junmai 60. Firstly, I’d let this sake rest. Initially, it can be hot and punchy. After a few minutes or so in the glass, it opens up, revealing intriguing notes of Greek yogurt on a booze-forward nose. The palate is vibrant, filled with juicy peaches and more yogurt, surprisingly well-balanced alongside the alcohol. There are also subtle hints of orange and kiwi, adding complexity. The finish is umami-rich, with lingering flavors of blueberries and a touch of minerality that rounds out the experience. This sake is a delight for those who appreciate nuanced flavours.” –Sam Boulton (Kokushu Creative)

♦A few words about sake storage

Sake changes its color and flavor over time, especially when exposed to direct light and fluctuating temperatures. Therefore, the best way to store sake is in a dark and cool place. At Taste of Japan, we invested energy efficient cooling facilities to store our sake at below 3 °C for long term maturation.
