JAPANESE SAKE: Izumibashi Ao Tonbo is a sake from the Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan.

PROFILE: This sake displays a rich and indulgent profile, featuring notes of apple, citrus and rice. Crafted from rice polished to 50%, this expression was produced using the traditional kimoto method, which involves waiting for the natural appearance of lactic acid.

DID YOU KNOW? The name of this sake celebrates the return of dragonflies (tombo) to the rice paddies belonging to the distillery, cultivated without chemicals.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This sake can be enjoyed well-chilled in a wine glass to be served with raw fish.

Color : or vif.

Nose : fine, unctuous. Very delicate, the aromatic palette is initially mentholated and aniseed. This is followed by lemony, floral fragrances (lily of the valley). Increasingly lactic (rice pudding) and juicy (white grape), it continues with scents of zucchini blossom and fresh walnut.

Palate : Round and tasty. Fruity (golden apple, pear), the palette is also mentholated, praline-flavored and tenderly spicy (candied ginger). Verdant (grass, cut hay), it poetically recreates the bucolic landscape of a rice paddy.

Overall : long, full-bodied. Inviting us to bite into a bunch of perfectly ripened white grapes, the tasting becomes ever fresher. Suddenly, an uninterrupted stream of rice grains spreads around the palate. Overflowing with naturalness, the retro olfaction is dominated by rice pilaf flavors.
