RIHAKU DANCE OF DISCOVERY JUNMAI

Kan no Mai, a newly developed rice that thrives in cold climates, is the foundation of this unique sake. The rice s name is derived from the Japanese characters Kan, meaning God, and Mai, which translates to dance or stage. The sake s distinctive flavor profile is a result of the specific milling rate of 68% used in its production. On the palate, this sake is textured and layered, with smoky and sweet notes that are complemented by a cleansing acidity on the finish. The rice notes are simply constructed, offering a malt-like flavor, while the prominent acidity leaves the palate dry and refreshed. This sake is an excellent pairing for a variety of dishes, such as yakitori or other grilled chicken, sweet potato gnocchi, or pork loin with apricot, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
