TENMEI JUNMAI GINJO

Food Pairings: Heavy flavors and oily dishes

Tasting Notes: This genshu sake sets itself apart from the crowd with its creative brewing techniques.

After brewing this sake with a blend of different yeasts (Kyokai #9, and the local Fukushima Akira yeast), it is then aged unpasteurized at freezing temperatures to expand the breadth of flavor. After a year has passed, it is then flash pasteurized so as to avoid changes to the taste, but to preserve the quality and stability of the sake.

The sake itself has a characteristic Akebono Shuzo flavor - firm and clean with a crisp finish - and it can be enjoyed at almost any temperature.
