Description
Sho Chiku Bai Kimoto Junmai is a soulful expression of traditional sake-making, brewed in small batches by Takara Sake USA with techniques that trace their lineage to 17th-century Japan. The labor-intensive kimoto method encourages natural lactic fermentation, yielding a velvety, full-bodied junmai that balances savory umami with gentle fruit nuances. Swirl the glass and discover aromas of steamed rice, toasted nuts, banana cream, and a whisper of white mushroom. The palate opens creamy and rounded, then lifts with bright acidity, finishing dry, clean, and satisfyingly earthy. Its moderate 16% ABV and smooth texture make it remarkably versatile—pour it gently chilled to highlight melon and tart apple notes, or warm it to feel richer cocoa and spice accents bloom.
