Kubota Seppou Yamahai "Black" Junmai Daiginjo

$0.00

Tasting Notes

A special Kubota seasonal release, "Seppou" can be served at all temperatures. Warming this sake releases all that Yamahai power and unleashes richer, rounder textures, whereas serving it cold increases the sharpness of its design.

Overview

Food Pairings: If serving this sake warm, foods such as tempura, dumplings and fried chicken/fish are amazing. If served chilled, this sake drinks incredibly well with crudite w/ creamy dips, salads, sashimi and mild-flavored cheese such as goats milk gouda or cows milk cheddar.
