Light yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of tropical fruit custard with blueberries, guanabana sorbet, aloe, and honey goat cheese with a round, bright, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, involved, medium-long finish with notes of sweet potato pie, tart kiwi, panna cotta with mixed berries, and coconut. A creamy, almost dessert like Sake with the aromas and flavors of custard and fruit.

Genshu Sake

Wine Glass Sake.jpg
Serve in a Stemless Wine Glass
Genshu literally means “cask strength”, and is used to describe sake that has not been diluted. All saké is fermented at 20% alcohol and most have distilled water added to lower the alcohol content to 14-16%. Genshu saké is very full bodied/flavored and should be paired with dishes that are similarly robust in nature.
