Description
Pink Label is a sake with rare and surprising flavors: pineapple, mint… And “tutti frutti” for lack of a better expression. Even more surprisingly, these aromas unfold without heaviness, and Pink Label dissolves on the palate with remarkable lightness. A fine achievement from the Hachinohe microbrewery. Rarely do we come across such a pleasantly different sake.
Storing:
This sake should be stored in a cool place, between 2 and 5°C. As with any sake, we recommend keeping it away from light. For longer storage, it’s best to store the bottle upright in a dark place. Laying the bottle down will bring the sake into contact with the cork, which can be damaging.
Ingredients:
Water, rice, koji rice (Alcohol content: 16%).
Shelf life:
Before opening and under the right conditions (those described above), this sake can be kept for years. After opening, it’s a matter of taste: the “classic” shelf life is about ten days in the refrigerator, but some connoisseurs let their bottles mature in the refrigerator for three to four weeks, or even longer. It all depends on your taste in oxidized sake.
Serve chilled:
We recommend serving this sake chilled, between 8 and 10°C. A wine glass will allow you to appreciate its bouquet better, but a sake cup will reveal more of its texture. Don’t worry, it’s excellent either way.
Alcohol abuse is dangerous to your health and should be consumed in moderation.
