Taka Noble Arrow Tokubetsu Junmai Namazake Sake

Taka Noble Arrow Tokubetsu Junmai Namazake is a seasonal unpasteurized sake from Taka Brewery in Yamaguchi, Japan. The limestone covered mountains nearby give this sake a rich mineral driven structure packed with tension and pronounced acidity. A timeless style of sake that old world wine drinkers easily gravitate to. On the palate we get notes of juicy watermelon, cucumber, kaffir lime,green apple, pear, mint, cream puff, and a pronounced mineral finish. It pairs especially well with oysters, blue-backed fish, clams, mussels, seafood, goat cheese, briny olives, and citrusy or herb-driven dishes. The acidity also works with richer or fattier foods because it cuts through the texture cleanly.
