KENBISHI MIZUHO JUNMAI SAKE 720 ML

KENBISHI MIZUHO JUNMAI SAKE 720 ML

Kenbishi Mizuho Junmai is a masterful blend of rich, aged flavors: brown sugar, toasted nuts, pastry, wild mushrooms, earth, spice, steaming brown rice, and brown butter. On the palate it's velvety and dense, like an oaky Napa Valley merlot.

Mizuho warms nicely to any temperature, although I like it most at around 110F, where the sweetness and aroma are enhanced but the acidity is still mellow. This 517 year old classic is a treat for both connoisseurs and historians.
