Yuho Eternal Embers Junmai NV (720ML)

Mioya Shuzo Yuho Eternal Embers
Junmai
Ishikawa, Japan
Tasting Notes:
Raisin notes with touches of grainy nu™¡ness spread wide on the palate, then progress smoothly into the finish. A major trademark of this Yuho sake is that there is lots of umami without being cloying. A great sake to try warmed as well as slightly chilled.
Food Pairing:
Pair with miso-glazed scallops on squid ink spaghe™¡, soba with swiss chard miso pesto, or roast pork tenderloin with cilantro date relish.
Sakery Information:
Mioya Shuzo was established in 1897, and is one of few sake breweries with a female president, Miho Fujita. Mioya is located in Ishikawa Ò well known for hot springs, pris™¡ne seafood, and most of all, sake. Toji Toshio Yokomichi places great importance on his rela™¡onship with the farmers who grow his sake rice to make sure it is grown properly and that agricultural chemicals are avoided in the process. The name Yuho has a double meaning; Yuho means Happy Rice, but also refers to their citys supposed numerous UFO spo™¡ngs.
