Sake Masumi Okuden Kantsukuri Mirror of Truth is brewed from November through January, then aged in the tank until autumn to allow its rich, soothing flavor to mature. Longtime sake drinkers find this sake comfortingly familiar, with unshakable down-to-earth reliability. It is smooth and well-balanced at first sip, and with repeated tastings displays a range of subtle, organic flavors as well as a pleasant natural sweetness. The abundant amino acids in this pure rice sake give it a wholesome roundness which is further enhanced by warming. Goes best with Japanese-style comfort foods like tempura, tofu and marinated chicken and pork dishes.
