Yamanashi Meijo (山梨銘醸)

Top-class sake with the rice center-stage

Named after the beauty of the nearby Mt. Kaikoma. Hints of porridge with nectarine jam. Off-dry with a refreshing acidity and texture like tweed. Very tidy but flavorful umami fills the mouth releasing oats and nuts before a dry finish. Delicious at any temperature but warm up to unleash even more flavor.

Try yakitori, sauteed dishes, roast chicken or sardines.

The water of Yamanashi and the inspired Mediterranean Sea were the foundation of the Sparkling Sake Alain Ducasse, created by Gerard Margeon and Maison Shichiken.

Serving temperature: Chilled

The sake name means velvet taste. A fruit-forward bouquet of pear followed by black pepper and mint. Smooth, off-dry, low acidity with medium body, lots of umami and a medium finish with a hint of tomato leaf. The structure is firm with some corners. A subtle sake packed with flavor as a result of a long careful ferment at low temperatures.

Chill and put in a wine glass to fully appreciate the aroma. Pair with meat dishes like roast beef.
