Wakatake Onikoroshi Junmai (720 ml)

Description

The nose on this sake that is made by a new master brewer at Wakatake is a gentle collection of blueberry, melon, sweet rice, and apple tones. This new "Demon Slayer" drinks far more controlled and drinkable than the former version, as it is slightly more reserved and dry.

Talk about a nice aromatics on this ultra-popular single pasteurized Daiginjo! Look for plum, melon, and peach scents in a sake that drinks with far more pop in a wine glass. This Demon Slayer is a semi-fruity brew with a unique dryness that speaks to wine drinkers. There is a flashy tail and an alertness that pings the 17% alcohol content. Good acidity with good hints of peach and tangerine elements, in a fluid that has presence on the palate. As the fluid warms in the glass, look for rich semi-sweet licks of honey and citrus. The current Master Brewer (Toji) likes this sake coming into room temp, as there are great temperate flavors and a fatter feeling.
