Notes - A lovely bottle of Junmai Ginjo Genshu. Full of complex aroma. Dry and clean on the tongue with a hint of 🍋 barley water flavor. Some bitterness at the palate but mellows out into a smooth finish. Recommended by Toko to enjoy chilled at 11c to best enjoy its fragrance and delicate texture of the sake.

Food pairing was with the Omakase dinner at @kenjapaneserestaurant.sg. First time dining over there after Botak sold off his restaurant. With the medium sake, it makes good combination with the heavier flavor dishes such as the Waygu 🥩 with lotus root and the 🦀 kani with Ikura. The dryness of the sake makes every bite of the beef taste extremely delicious as it washes the oil from the mouth after every sip. While the umami supports the freshness and adds another level of complexity to the 🦀 and Ikura.

Overall, this is a good sake. 🦀 🦀 🥩 🥩
