Tasting notes
Description
To qualify for the koshu classification, sake must be aged for a minimum of 3 years, resulting in a change in colour from pale to golden yellow or amber, and flavour notes reminiscent of Madeira wine and Sherry, with hints of honey, caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, and hay.
The Maillard reactions between the sugars and amino acids naturally present in sake explain this evolution throughout the ageing process.
This Fukumitsuya Junmai sake, aged in a cellar since 1999, presents a balance between sour and sweet flavours, with notes reminiscent of a fine apricot jam.
The brilliant aroma of caramel, due to the long maturation process, fills your senses, and the slight spicy finish can be savoured on the palate.
