NV | Akabu Junmai Sake | Japan (720ml) Cincuenta y Cinco 55 Gian Piero Marrone's 2015 BaroloAnother example of a low temperature fermented sake with a refreshing ending, this Junmai Ginjo combines a lively apple aroma with a luxurious note of noyau ice cream. This sake is made with Iwates pride and joy Ginginga rice, adding a dimension of savory umami. Ive always loved Akabus ability to brew sakes that have a satisfying acidity that pairs well with ceviche, and salmon with lemon.
