Mukane 'Shadow of Katano'
This Junmai Ginjo Nigori sake is just lovely to behold and absolutely stunning on the palate with a refreshing flavor profile and textured, silky mouthfeel. Clean, fruity, and mellow nigori sake. Nigori sake is made so that some of the rice lees remain in the bottle after pressing. The Katano area was home to many Osaka brewers in the Edo Era (1603-1867), but today only two brewers survive. This sake takes its name from the Katano-area brewing tradition.
So, let's put it in our mouth. Hazy, pale color. Complex aromas of nuts, smoke and mushroom. At once sweet and dry, with a savory quality leavening the wine's fat texture. This boasts a creamy opulence and serious breadth, but the nutty, earthy flavors are all rather low-toned. Rich but almost surprisingly dry.
Try this at out at your favorite BYOB!
