Dewazakura Omachi ginjo sake

Uncorked has stocked sake since 2014, and for sheer depth of flavour, the Dewazakura Omachi has always been my favourite among our otherwise shifting range. It is made from Omachi rice, an old rice strain which is the forerunner of all modern Sake rice types. It is a great food sake, with a luscious, full texture and a moderately saline bite on the finish. For the aromatics, think nashi pear, melon and fennel. The Dewazakura Brewery dates back to the 1890s, and is located in Yamagata Prefecture towards the north of Honshu island. The polishing ratio here is 50%. (NT 08/03/22)
