Shiokawa Cowboy Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Genshu Sake
Shiokawa Cowboy Yamahai is a Junmai Ginjo Genshu from Shiokawa Shuzo in Niigata Prefecture that throws out the Niigata rulebook of light, dry sake and rides its own trail. Master brewer Kazuhiro Shiokawa uses the ancient yamahai method, brewing without commercial yeast additions or temperature control, and bottles the result undiluted at a hefty 19% ABV.
The nose opens with musky tropical fruit, steamed rice, caramel, vanilla, and hickory smoke, leading into a rich, layered palate of umami, lush fruit, cocoa, and cooked rice with a surprisingly smooth finish. It is a sake for lovers of big red wines and bold spirits, and it stands up to the heartiest food: steak, wagyu, chicken mole, game, and stews. Serve it at room temperature or lightly chilled. This 720 ml bottle changes minds about what sake can be.
