Rihaku Origin Of Purity Namazake Junmai Ginjo Genshu Sake NV 720ml

SAKE OVERVIEW: Origin of Purity is available seasonally as a namazake offering and is a unique addition to the VC ginjo line-up as it is our first sake made with Omachi rice. Discovered in 1859, Omachi is the only pure rice strain that has been grown consistently in Japan. This is quite an impressive feat as Omachi is one of the tallest sake rices which makes it incredibly difficult to harvest and susceptible to damage by typhoons and strong storms. We're lucky that Rihaku has found one of the best Omachi growers in Japan. This genshu (undiluted sake) is produced using rose vine yeast and is incredibly pure and balanced. TASTING NOTES: A robust, powerful expression of namazake. The complexity of flower yeast, omachi rice, and genshu result in layers of smoke, molasses, toast cereal, and candied nuts. FOOD PAIRING: Try paired with steak, cured meats or dishes with charred onions.
