Rihaku Shuzo, Dance Of Discovery Junmai

Rihaku Shuzo, Dance Of Discovery Junmai was brewed with a newly developed rice called Kan no Mai that withstands cold climates and is full of smoky, saline rice flavors. The rice name is a word made of the Japanese characters "Kan," translated to "God," and "Mai," meaning dance or stage. The specific milling rate of 68% employed in this sake results in a one-of-a-kind flavor profile. On the palate we have a textured and layered sake with smoky and sweet flavor that ends with a cleansing acidity. The Rihaku Shuzo, Dance Of Discovery Junmai is a great pairing with yakitori or other grilled chicken, sweet potato gnocchi, or pork loin with apricot. RIHAKU: Rihaku is named after the famous Chinese poet from the 8th century, Li Po, who was known to drink a big bottle of sake and write a hundred poems.
