[Shikizakura Tokubetsu Junmai Hiyaoroshi Cosmos]
Matured through the summer for a mellow flavor. A Hiyaoroshi that complements the tastes of autumn.
Shikizakura's special pure rice Hiyaoroshi, "Cosmos," is the perfect companion for the tastes of autumn.
By aging it through the summer, it has developed a soft, mature aroma and a rich, expansive umami. While dry and full-bodied, it leaves a clean, crisp finish. It is a sophisticated autumn sake characterized by a harmonious balance of deep umami and acidity.
Enjoy it chilled for a crisp experience, or let it reach room temperature for a richer flavor. Warming it to 'nuru-kan' (tepid) will allow the taste to spread even more mellowly.
It is a bottle to be savored slowly alongside seasonal autumn dishes like sautéed mushrooms or salt-grilled Pacific saury.
