Hakushika Junmai (ideal for cooking) 900ml (14,5% Vol.)

098

12,70 € tax incl.

Description : While we are used to drinking sake with meals or as an appetizer, sake is also a key element of Japanese cuisine and is used in many dishes. This hakushika junmai sake can be enjoyed as is, but it is also perfect for cooking. The umami naturally present in the sake will be absorbed by the ingredients, making them tasty and tender. 

Alcohol by volume : 14,5%

Appearance: This sake is transparent, translucent and shiny

Nose: The nose is directly on nuts: almond and walnut. There are fruits such as brandied peaches and melon. With aeration, the second nose shows the rice taking over, accompanied by apple, grapefruit and cream. It's well-balanced.

Mouth: The attack is sweet with freshness. We do taste rice, almond and cooked apple. 

Finish: The mid-palate arrives directly on a finish with pleasant notes of rose petal and plum.

Pairing: Crab and mayonnaise, spaghetti alle vongole, chicken Milanese, yellow fruit and almonds crumble. In cooking, this sake is an essential ingredient for simmered dishes based on white fish, seafood or even with chicken.

Serving temperature: Fresh (10°-12°) or at room temperature (15°-25°)

The brewery Tatsuuma Honke was founded in 1662 in Nishinomiya, located in Nada, between Osaka and Kobe. This city is well known for its sake production, thanks to high quality pure water, miyamizu, access to premium quality rice and proximity of the sea. 

When it first started, the brewery did not exceed 20 kilolitres of production per year. With the improvement of brewing methods, the demand for quality sake increased for it was no longer only meant for nobles and warriors or special occasions. Sake was now spreading out to izakaya all over Japan. In the early 1800s the brewery was producing 250 kilolitres of sake per year, becoming one of the most important breweries in Japan and reaching the top in 1899 with more than 3000 kilolitres produced per year. In 1877, one of the brewery’s sake, named Hakushika, won a prize and became the flagship product of the brewery. The sake Hakushika was presented to the World Fair of Paris where it was awarded a gold medal. Hakushika means white deer in Japanese and refers to a Chinese legend according to which an emperor from the Tang dynasty met a white deer wearing a gold medal in the palace gardens. This medal stated that the deer was 1000 years old. The emperor interpreted this encounter as a sign of longevity and became the emperor of his dynasty who reigned the longest. With the name Hakushika, Tatsuuma Honke refers to its long history and the future they are building day by day.
