Tasting Notes: Senkin Classic Kame no O is part of the brewery's "classic" series - sake made using traditional brewing methods. Brewed astoundingly using 100% ancient rice Kame no O - a finicky specimen that requires 100% by-hand cultivation, and furthermore one of the few pure rice strains left in Japan. The resulting sake is delicate, smartly sharp, and maintains a balance and reverence to the uniquely wild flavor of Kame no O. Highly rated by the leading U.S. wine critic Robert M. Parker Jr., this sake is best paired with Japanese cuisine and can be served at a variety of temperatures.
