Mukai Inemankai Junmai Genshu 1.8L

Kyoto // Japan Rice: Kyo no Kagayaki & Murasaki red rice Polish: 70% & 90% Yeast Strain: #701 - A very unique sake! Brewed by one of Japan's first female master brewers (toji) who developed this in response to a challenge at brewing college. Inemankai uses locally grown red rice called Murasaki, local Kyoto rice Iwai and well... the process is a secret but the colour is all natural. In early 2000 Kuniko-san launched her red rice sake and called it 'Inemankai' which aptly means ‘Ine in Full Bloom’. Expect cranberries, herbs and a savoury nose with a cherry, creamy and savoury palate. A versatile sake that pairs well with meaty dishes and even dessert. Sensational. A team favourite here.
