If you prefer wine that isn't too sweet but still has a fruity flavor, Sho Chiku Bai Shirakabegura Junmai Daiginjo may be right up your alley. Unlike regular daiginjo sake, this unique sake has a slightly different flavor depending on whether you drink it warm or cold. That versatility makes it a fun addition to any meal. You can serve cold Shirakabegura Junmai Daiginjo one night with mild chicken breasts and the next at room temperature alongside seasoned salmon — both nights, it will taste equally good.

Traditionally served chilled, Shirakabe Junmai Daiginjo has a full-bodied palate with a hint of sweetness and a smooth, velvety feel in the mouth. Clear and bright in the glass, it has subtle aromas of pear, melon, banana and petrichor. The flavors of vanilla, melon, banana and white mushroom are enhanced by a hint of sweetness.

Though traditionally chilled, this junmai daiginjo can also be warmed, retaining its balance and heightened creaminess, and gaining a stronger umami profile. Savory notes of rice, cream of wheat, and ripe banana also emerge.

Junmai Daiginjo Sake: Part of a New Japanese Tradition

Sake has been around for at least 1,500 years, maybe more. Japanese history books mention the fermented rice wine and the many cultural milestones it has played a role in. The drink remains a staple in Japan, and it has become increasingly popular abroad as people sample the complex and full flavors that different types of sake have to offer. Each one is slightly different and serves a distinct purpose, much like a great wine or beer.
