RÉGIS CAMUS & URAKASUMI

RICH, COMPLEX AND SILKY

THIS SAKE CARRIES AN UNDERCURRENT OF UMAMI THAT GROUNDS EVERY SIP. AS YOU SETTLE INTO THAT EARTHINESS, FRUIT EMERGES: HINTS OF PINEAPPLE, LYCHEE, A FLASH OF MELON DANCING ACROSS THE PALATE. IT'S A BALANCING ACT OF ASSEMBLAGE, LAYERING URAKASUMI'S COMPLEX EXPRESSIONS TO UNLOCK FLAVORS THAT EXISTED IN POTENTIAL BUT NEVER IN UNISON. THE RESULT IS A JUNMAI DAIGINJO THAT PAIRS AS BEAUTIFULLY WITH FATTY TUNA AND UNI AS IT DOES WITH AGED COMTÉ OR ROASTED DUCK.
