KIKUSUI BLUE STAG 7 JUNMAI
KIKUSUI BLUE STAG 7 JUNMAI
Located in Iida City in southern Nagano Prefecture, Kikusui Sake Brewery is the area's only brewery. It was founded in 1944 through the merger of 37 local breweries. Using the revived sake rice "Takane nishiki," grown by local contract farmers, they brew sake with traditional methods. For other products, they prioritize local Nagano ingredients, taking advantage of the region’s high elevation, temperature variation, and long sunlight hours. The brewery is dedicated to crafting sake unique to Iida City with a distinct, local character.
Notes of marzipan, plantain and palm leaves. When served chilled, the acidity and finish are crisp creating a more refreshing experience. When served gently warmed, this sake shines! Warming the sake mellows and rounds out the acidity while adding weight to the palate and releasing cereal grain and dried longan notes. Pairs well with Simmered Fish, Tempura, Roast Beef and other strongly flavored dishes
