Description
This is a pure rice sake (junmai) made with rice grains that have been polished to 50% of their original volume (daiginjo). Yonetsuru Chokara boasts astonishing aromatic depth and a sharp texture. It belongs to the Chokara family of sakes, which are the driest in Japan. It is excellent with seafood and raw vegetables.
Rice: Dewanosato
Polishing ratio: 50%
Prefecture: Yamagata
Storage:
This sake should be stored in a cool place between 2 and 5°C. As with all sake, we recommend protecting it from light. For prolonged storage, keep the bottle upright in a dark place. Laying the bottle down brings the sake into contact with the cork, which can damage it.
Ingredients:
Water, rice, koji rice. (Alcohol content: 15.5%)
Shelf life:
If stored under the right conditions (as described above) before opening, this sake can be kept for years. Once opened, it’s a matter of personal preference: the ‘standard’ shelf life is around ten days in the refrigerator, but some enthusiasts leave their bottles to develop in a cool place for three to four weeks or more. It all depends on your preference for oxidised sakes.
Serve chilled:
We recommend serving this sake chilled, at a temperature between 8 and 10°C. A wine glass allows you to better appreciate the sake’s bouquet, while a sake cup reveals its texture more fully. Either way, it will be excellent.
Remember that alcohol abuse is dangerous to your health — please drink responsibly.
