Senkin Nature Kimoto Kioke Genshu Junmai Sake (BTL 720 ml)

If there were a category of natty sakes, Senkin would be one of its originators; and this sake would be its prized flagship bottle. Senkin is inspired by the vin naturel movement and concepts of terroir in sake.

The local rice Kame no O is organic and pesticide-free, and is used both for the kakemai and kojimai here. Brothers Masato and Kazuto Usui says, “Kame no O is less soluble than Yamada Nishiki. When used to make koji rice, the koji mold slowly and thoroughly penetrates the rice, making it easier to produce koji rice with strong enzymes. Kame no O has the advantage of not producing many unpleasant flavors after polishing. This brings out a clear flavor. Using it to make koji rice brings out the umami and fullness of the rice, and adds depth to the aroma.”

Get notes of crisp green apple and a creamy, earthy finish. Enjoy chilled in a wine glass with a slice of anchovy toast.
