Imayo Tsukasa Black Junmai Sake
Benten Sawane Junmai Ginjo Sake
Gian Luca Colombo Barolo DOCG 2018
The fruit is sourced from the following crus: Bricco Ambrogio (Roddi village), Roere di Santa Maria (La Morra), Bussia (Monforte d’Alba). The emphasis on Roddi and La Morra help explain the airy style of the wine, a lighter style than wines coming from the villages of Barolo or Serralunga, for example. Gian Luca explains about the 2018 vintage, a relatively cool year: a vintage that gave us wines that are really charming and approachable when young; the wines are already expressive, fruity, aromatic and tannins smooth and soft.
Suigei Kouiku 54 Junmai Ginjo Sake
The only Sake Brewery in Kochi City . They hope to make sake that is the best to pair with food - sake that is dry, yet with high acidity and umami - using the isolated Tosa Mountain range's pure spring water. This water contains no iron or manganese, which are detrimental elements in sake. The brewery is also quite particular about their ingredients - the rice is polished very carefully, and they use true Kumamoto Yeast. The aroma is modest and vaguely citrusy, and the flavor has a hint of sourness with solid umami, yet the finish is clean and pleasant. Enjoyed best with both Asian and western seafood or fried/fatty dishes.
Domaine Bouchard Pere & Fils Beaune du Chateau Premier Cru Blanc 2018
Pale gold, gold color with green shades. The nose is made of white flesh fruit, candied citrus aromas with a hint of brioche and ginger bread. The mouth associates richness, subtle oak, taste of dried fruit. Pleasantly rich wine.
