Konteki "Pearls of Simplicity" - 300ml
Only 6 in stock
Junmai Daiginjo: dry, supremely smooth, and soft. 300ml bottle.
ABOUT THE SAKE: The epitome of purity, this sake is more subtle and nuanced than most highly aromatic Junmai Daiginjos. It is based on the ideals of Zen Buddhism and "wabi-sabi," the belief that beauty within the arts should be as understated and pure as a simple strand of pearls. One of two sakes brewed in exactly the same way with the same ingredients, except this one is a Junmai Daignjo and Tears of Dawn has added distilled alcohol to open up aromatics.
TASTING NOTES & FOOD PAIRING: Aromas of white flower, Asian pear & steamed rice. Finishes elegantly with rich minerality and rice texture. This is a great sipping sake and an excellent companion to scallops, pork, and light meats.
HIGASHIYAMA: Konteki’s culture centers around 15th-century Zen Buddhism ideals and beauty purity. • Kyoto is the birthplace of sake and is home to the local Fushimi Mizu, one of Japan’s most prized water sources of soft, pure water. • Well-respected rice farmer Masayasu Tanaka grows rice for the brewery. He is famous for growing some of Japan’s best quality Yamada Nishiki rice, considered the pinnacle of premium sake rice.
