Traditionally served chilled, Shirakabegura Junmai Daiginjo has a full-bodied palate with a hint of sweetness and a smooth, velvety feel in the mouth. Clear and bright in the glass, it has subtle aromas of pear, melon, banana and petrichor. The flavors of vanilla, melon, banana and white mushroom are enhanced by a hint of sweetness.
Though traditionally chilled, this junmai daiginjo can also be warmed, retaining its balance and heightened creaminess, and gaining a stronger umami profile. Savory notes of rice, cream of wheat, and ripe banana also emerge.
Served cold, this sake sets off lightly flavored foods that have a subtle, savory edge, including steamed fish, poached chicken breast, scallops and warm mushroom quiche. Served warm, this sake suits somewhat more robustly flavored foods, including sea urchin, salmon (raw or poached), and eel, as well as mild Korean soft tofu soup.
