“Okarakuchi”, meaning Super Dry, is a full-bodied, very dry sake with pronounced acidity and sweet-fruit tones. It has an intensely spicy nose with hints of honeydew melon and lychee. The palate on the “Okarakuchi” certainly possesses a mineral-like dryness that lingers with balanced acidity. In spite of its high alcohol content, this sake does not have a strong alcohol aftertaste & will continue to show greater depth as it ages—yes, ages! This sake improves and mellows with age, even after opening.

 

Best Served: Chilled or at room temperature.

Food Pairing: Oysters, grilled shrimp, soft ripened cheeses such as Camembert.
