The Sakuramasamune brewery, of the Kobe region, decided to brew a specific sake to be accompanied by meat, as a devotion to their "Wagyu Beef".
We experience a complex bouquet of ripe pear and caramel, sweet spiciness (star anise and cloves), nicely wrapped in a characteristic whole. Typical soy reflex in nose and mouth offer a nice added value. A firm aftertaste based on the spiciness with burnt accents (almond nuts) in the aftertaste.
This sake will dot the i's in this unsurpassed culinary experience.
