This Ippaku Suisei sake is made as a limited edition product for a spring / early winter release in Japan and has a distinctive pink label that points to that season. It is crafted from locally grown Misato Nishiki rice which is an Akita Sake rice grain developed by the rice research institute of Gojome town. They crossed the parent rice strains – Yamada Nishiki with Miyama Nishiki to develop this local rice type suitable for their growing conditions.
The sake has subtle strawberry, fresh peach and lychee notes with emerging umami and a refreshing spiciness on the finish to leave the drinker with a medium dry impression. An easy drinking suppleness and delicious aromas makes this an easy choice alongside lighter bites and seafood starters. Serve chilled down to experience a leaner impression in the glass.
