Pale gold color and surprising strength of aroma- this is new wave Albarińo, fermented in barrel and just managing to balance the forward oak and vanilla with more classic aromas of orange peel, white flowers, pear, unripe peach and lemon. this is an intriguing wine, notable for its crisp, steely acidity and flint core. I longed for a bit more depth and finish but a joy to drink even so. — 5 years ago
Okunomatsu kura was founded in Fukushima in 1716 and is now led by its 19th president Joji Yusa. This sake won the International Wine Challenge (IWC) Gold medal award in 2018 beating out 1,639 other sake labels.
Lychee, orange blossom and white flowers on the nose.
Bright, silky and a bit viscous with honey dew melon, white chocolate and minerality.
Ya ya karakuchi describes a sake as a nice balance between acidity and sweetness. We had soba with duck, shiitake mushrooms and grilled leeks. — a year ago
