Inspired by the national trail near Takara’s Berkeley, CA brewery, Sho Chiku Bai Skyline Junmai Sake is forging a new path in the sake world with a modern style that bucks tradition. An unexpected pop of heightened acidity is complemented by hints of tannins from blending in barrel aged sake. The result is daring and uniquely delicious, with a complex mix of fruity, savory and floral notes.

Fruity, savory and floral notes entwine in this uniquely delicious sake. It is complex, evolving and ultimately seductive. Initially, aromas of banana bread, cream cheese and daffodil may appear. But a sip brings lightly tart red cherry and orange pith on a silky palate. Notes of creme fraiche, plantain chips and a slight hint of vanilla add interest. The flavors are long, ultimately finishing with appealing saltiness.

Recommended Temperature: Chilled (50˚F) to warm

Food Pairing Suggestions: Roast chicken, charcuterie, shrimp, pork loin, grilled salmon, wagyu steak, filet mignon.
