Shirakawago Junmai-nigorisake Dekitatenama

しらかわごうじゅんまいにごりさけできたてなま / Shirakawago Junmai-nigorisake Dekitatenama

Junmai
Ginjo

This freshly made, unpasteurized nigorizake (coarsely filtered sake) is bottled, then stored below zero degrees celcius to stabilize fermentation. It is then delivered at a low temperature so that customers are able to taste the flavor that was heretofore available only at the brewery.
The rich yet refreshing flavor and light carbonation are pleasing to the palate; one can enjoy the vibrant flavor unique to freshly made sake. It is reminiscent of Shirakawa-go's doburoku (the area's traditional nigorizake).

Sake vessels

A bowl-shaped sake cup is recommended to bring out the sake's umami and sweetness. Earthenware and porcelain cups match well, too.

Food pairing

The brewery's recommendations are bold-flavored dishes with fairly high sodium content (e.g., prosciutto, blue cheese) and grilled dishes (e.g., yakiniku, chicken skewers with tare sauce, and grilled eel with sweet-salty sauce). It's also great with pickled vegetables in general.
