Sho Chiku Bai Rei Junmai Daiginjo
Category | Sake |
Brand | Sho Chiku Bai |
Origin | California |
REI presents with a hint of white flowers, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. In the mouth, this sake is smooth and lightly creamy—its savoriness increasing as the sake warms gradually in the glass. Delightlful fruit and floral notes of this daiginjo make it a delicious all-occasion drink. More so than a typical daiginjo sake, the soft and full body character of REI Junmai DaiGinjo opens it to a wider variety of food pairing.
Pair widely with lightly to richly flavored foods, such as sushi, fresh crab, and more fully flavored tempura, sukiyaki, yakitori (tare), meat dishes, as well as savory desserts. Its melon flavors pair well with thinly sliced prosciutto and with mild cheese, both firm and soft, such as Manchego and Camembert. Enjoy it with grilled cheese sandwiches too.
