The Story
Winemaker Notes
Aromas and flavors of vanilla rice pudding, delicate nutmeg and cinnamon, and apple tart with a silky, dry-yet-fruity, medium-to-full body and a smooth, resonant finish with notes of papaya, plantain, and grassy earth. Excellent complexity and depth.
Not all sake is meant to be drunk both chilled and hot, but Hatsumago is one of the exceptions and is often enjoyed warm by sake experts and connoisseurs. Warming this sake will really open up and enhance its unique characteristics. Heat to the level of your personal preference and enjoy.
Great accompaniment to sashimi, sushi, and seafood in general. Also compliments vinegary and lightly fried foods. This sake particularly enhances the flavor of raw oysters, as it diminishes its fishy aftertaste.
