Kinoene “Hanayaka Takumi no Kaori”

In-bottle pasteurization gives this sake bright acidity and a slight effervescence. A fruity aroma leads into a full body with a smooth taste, culminating in a lingering sweetness. This sake has won many awards, including multiple golds and a platinum at the Kura Master, an esteemed competition in France that focuses on compatibility of food and drink. It pairs particularly well with shrimp, scallop, seafood gratin and creamy chowder.
