Masuizumi Oak Aged Kijoshu
Tasting Notes
Kijoshu is made by incorporating sake instead of water during the last step of fermentation, lending a sweeter, richer, and more concentrated flavor, similar to noble rot wine. This product is a rare Kijoshu-style sake aged in oak barrels giving it more complexity and depth than regular Kijoshu. On the nose, there are aromas of oak, honey, black pepper, and butterscotch. This full-bodied sake is smooth and rounded with notes of cinnamon, toffee, and the nuances of honey are enhanced by the barrel aging. Delicious as is or transform it into a Old Fashioned cocktail with an orange peel and bitters. Since this sake is stored and aged in oak barrels, there may be some sediment from the barrel.
