Kikusui Karakuchi Honjozo Sake (Small Format Bottle) 300ml
Product Details
A sip of this sake brings the same intensity, dryness and clarity as that of a crisp wind. This palate cleansing quality, and a hidden but ever-present umami, make this brew the Kikusui Sake Company's most highly recommended sake to enjoy with food. A fun suggestion is to experience this sake anew with the passing of each season - try chilling the sake in summer, warming it in winter, and matching it to a wide berth of your favorite seasonal dishes.
Food Pairings: Unagi Kabayaki and other Rich Foods, Light and Refreshing foods such as Soba, and Red-Fleshed Fish such as Salmon and Tuna.
Rice: Gohyakumangoku
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 70%
With 130 years of history on their shoulders, the Kikusui Sake Company of Niigata prefecture built themselves up from the bottom. The name "Kikusui" is a reference to a Noh theatre play, wherein the dew (Sui) from the petals of chrysanthemums (Kiku) grant eternal life.
In 2004 they established the Kikusui Sake Research Institute in an effort to both raise the bar on the quality of their offerings and wrestle with concepts such as enjoyment of sake, and sake culture. They are proud to produce "Funaguchi" - Japan's first commercially available Nama (unpasteurized) sake.
