The nose on this unpasteurized (nama), un-charcoal filtered (muroka), and undiluted (genshu) sake is a vibrant collection of pomelo, white grape, blueberry, orange peel, cucumber, and mineral aromas. Hold on to your hat Ohmine fans, as you are about to get your living and raw sake on. Made with Dewasansan rice milled to 50% and not charcoal filtered, this sake dances out of the bottle. Effervescent, tingly, bright, frisky, semi-brash, and very lively, this 3-grain expression drinks slippery, fleshy, semi-viscous, with a medium body and a ton of flavor. Look for grapefruit, lemon-lime, cucumber, powdered sugar, radish, snow cone, and Muscat flavors that provide a snappy sweetness with a crisp finish. This much action needs a white wine glass to play with the grapefruit acidic tones and to capture the lively new world effervescent style.
