Hatsumago Makiri Junmai Ginjo Funamae

Product Description

• Taste: Fresh, rich, full-bodied, crisp

• Description: Makiri is a seasonal Junmai Ginjo genshu, bottled directly from the press to capture the vibrant freshness and luscious umami found only just after pressing. As it is poured, a refreshing aroma typical of freshly pressed sake rises gently from the glass. The palate shows the rich, concentrated umami of undiluted sake, lively and full-bodied, before a crisp, clean, dry finish. Made with Miyama Nishiki polished to 55%, it stands up well to hearty, flavourful food. Serve chilled.

• Food pairings: Yakiniku, grilled mackerel, tonkatsu, satay

Tohoku Meijo was founded in 1893 at Jurizuka in Sakata, on the Shonai plain of Yamagata, and brews under the Hatsumago name. Its defining commitment is that its entire output is made by the kimoto method, the labour-intensive traditional starter in which lactic acid develops naturally rather than being added. The company works under the motto "power comes from inside".
