Mukai Shuzo Junmai "Ine Mankai"

This junmai pours a pale brick red hue and offers a wide range of savory aromatics, from braised cabbage and carrot cake to buttermilk and toasted redwood bark. The palate carries a medium sweetness that is viscous and plush, layered with golden raisin, malted wheat, honey and salted plum notes. It finishes complex and multifaceted, closer to a dessert wine than a typical dry sake.
