(Preorder)Hououbiden 風風关田 纯米大哈酿 原酒 Junmai Daiginjyo Genshu Phoenix 2018 750ml

This is a premium sake crafted by Kobayashi Shuzo, a historic brewery in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, established in 1872. This special edition showcases the brewery’s dedication to traditional sake brewing and their pursuit of excellence. This aromatic, full-bodied sake pairs beautifully with rich sashimi (like tuna or scallop), grilled seafood, shellfish in light butter or citrus, foie gras, creamy cheeses, and lightly spiced dishes.

• Production Method: Utilizes the Fukuroshibori (bag dripping) technique, a traditional method where sake is extracted without applying pressure, resulting in a purer and more delicate flavor. It is also a Genshu, meaning it is undiluted, preserving its full-bodied taste.

• Flavor Profile: Exhibits luxurious aromas of muscat grapes and melon, with a complex, seductive, and rich flavor that evolves over time. Notes of apricot and chestnuts add to its depth

• Aroma: Elegant and vibrant fruity notes, especially muscat grapes, melon, and hints of apricot.

• Taste:

  • Smooth and rich with a slightly viscous texture

  • Layers of fruitiness and gentle sweetness

  • Undertones of chestnut, light umami, and a touch of acidity for balance

  • Being genshu (undiluted), it has a bold and concentrated flavor
