Kiku Masamune Junmai Taru Sake 720ml 15% Alc/Vol 菊正宗 純米清酒

Taru Sake is a unique variety of sake matured in barrels made from Yoshino cedar, a fragrant wood often used in temples and shrines. Think of it as the rice wine equivalent of Reposado Tequila, but with more subtlety and finesse. The Junmai from Kiku Masamune is crafted in a dry Junmai style, giving it a slightly savoury flavour profile due to the reduced polishing of rice grains. This premium sake is aged in cedar barrels before being bottled in a charming, bulbous flask called a tokkuri. Its harmonious flavour can be enjoyed cool with sushi and sashimi or warm on a winter night with soba noodles, yakitori, or unagi. Warming the sake enhances its earthy wood spice, incense, peppercorn, pine, green apple, and blossom notes. Product of Japan
