Banshu Ikkon 'kita Nishiki - Super Dry' Junmai Sake

 BANSHU IKKON 'KITA NISHIKI - SUPER DRY' JUNMAI SAKE 720ml

Made from local Kita Nishiki rice, which lends the sake a clear structure and sharp finish.

Aromas of green apple give way to a creamy body with silken textures and resolving with a spicy, dry finish.

Works well with soy flavored dishes, marinated raw tuna, sea bream carpaccio, or in-season fresh tomatoes.

This Junmai sake from Banshu Ikkon is a beautifully lean structured sake, light bodied and linear, with the distinctive bright and spicy finish unique to brewmaster Yuichi Tsubosaka. While Kita Nishiki is a rice developed locally in Hyogo it is more characteristic of rice grown in the far north, with a firm grain that dissolves more slowly, producing sake of tight structure and clean flavors as opposed to the luscious rice types that made the area famous. It does retain a brightness of character unique to the region, and typical of all Banshu Ikkon sake.
