IZUMIBASHI AKITONBO RAKUFUMAI
Pickup currently not available
Rakufumai is a new sake rice, registered only in 2014: a cross between the table rice Dontokoi and the sake rice Gohyakumangoku. Izumibashi grow it themselves.
It makes a light, airy sake that leans herbal rather than simply fruity, and this one shows it. Yellow apple and strawberry up front, then mint, anise, and a green herbal note. Round and broad in the mouth, dry, with a cool acidity that the matured flavors settle over.
Drink it at room temperature. It's built to meet the spices and herbs in the food rather than work around them.
The label shows a dragonfly opening its wings at the end of summer, and heart-shaped grains of rice for the autumn to come.
