What you can expect:
The Katori 80 is made with locally grown organic Koshi-Hikari rice which is a table rice variety. Polished to only 80% and made with the traditional Kimoto method using wild yeast, this Sake is made to represent what Sake tasted like over a hundred years ago - think ‘liquid rice’ in a bottle!
A very rice dominated aroma, the palate shows very bright acidity with a strong savoury edge. The finish is long, dry and powerful. Please try it at room temperature, then try it as a hot sake to enjoy the deep and profound umami.
