Mana 1751, "True Vision" Yamahai Tokubetsu Junmai Muroka Genshu - NV

Item # 45059

Fukui prefecture is famed for its water quality, and this has a profound impact on the quality of sake produced here. Produced using the traditional yamahai method, with its naturally occurring lactic acid and local yeast, this junmai is special indeed. A slight hint of a savory/dairy aroma add an umami quality to to the sweet and honeyed aromas from the Gohyakumangoku rice and koji. Pair with spiced grilled pork skewers.

Staff Pick Notes

This saké is a Yamahai Tokubetsu Junmai Muroka Genshu. Okay. Let's break that down. Yamahai is a traditional, slow fermentation made without added lactic acid. Tokubetsu just means "special," usually a brewer saying they are making a heartier style rather than a lighter style. Along with Junmai this gives the polishing grade: how much of the outer layer of each grain is removed, leaving behind the starchy heart. Here, polished to 60% and bottled with no added distilled alcohol. Muroka Genshu means unfiltered and undiluted but should not be confused with a cloudy, white Nigori style; this is just a little more raw, unmanipulated, with a hint of color. The core is intense, concentrated, with aromas of ginger, peppercorn, honeydew, and banana, all balanced out with umami flavors and a bit of natural acidity. Try it with tacos al pastor.
