A limited production Junmai-Daiginjo, made in small batches at Gekkeikan's Uchigura brewery, dedicated to micro-brewing only ultra premium sakes. Mild, fruity aroma with delicate notes of over-ripe cantaloupe and honeysuckle. Well-Balanced and exceptionally smooth with a long, clean finish. Horin is slowly fermented at low temperatures for a refined flavor.
"A combination of fresh spring water, Yamada Nishiki rice (known as the ‘king of sake rice’), Gohyakumangoku rice milled to 50%, and the skill of the sake master, result in this classic example of a Fushimi style Junmai Daiginjo… Horin has a delicately fruity nose, its subtle flavors are well-balanced, and it is exceptionally smooth with a long clean finish.
Style: Mild fruity aroma with delicate notes of over-ripe cantaloupe, honeydew and honeysuckle. Round and smooth on the palate, with a medium, creamy body. Finishes long and smooth, with a hint of pear.
Pairing Notes: Horin’s delicate aromatics complement lightly seasoned appetizers, salads, lobster and mild fish dishes, glazed pork, fresh fruit and lighter style fare.
Serving Suggestions: Horin is an ultra-premium sake and is best enjoyed chilled.
Class: Junmai Daiginjo"
