Choya Sake Japanese Rice Wine NV

Choya Futsu-shu ("Table") Sake, Japanese Rice Wine NV 72cl

Traditionally brewed using soft, mineral water at the Yucho Brewery, Choya's smooth, dry tasting sake is made using locally grown Japonica rice (milled down to 75%) from the Nara Province. It is GM free and is best served warm.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"I was eager to try the Choya in a couple of different styles and decided to sip it at room temperature first. On the nose, I detected hints of peach and pineapple. This contrasted with a savoury taste of oats and sardines which was balanced with sweeter notes of banana and grapefruit. On my second round, I drank it kanzake (hot) and noticed how the savoury qualities became bigger and brighter. The bouquet of the sake unfurled and I found myself enjoying it even more. The Choya is smooth, easy and very sessionable. An awesome introductory sake." Yamamoto Magazine, May 2020

Food Match: Pair with a spinach and ricotta pizza. The savouriness works beautifully with the cheese. The pinch of sweetness also gives some great tang. Try serving Choya warm alongside a fatty or meaty dish.
