This Hakutsuru Junmai Koshu is ideal for “Anko & Cheese wrapped in Gyoza Wrappers”

Hakutsuru Junmai Koshu

Hakutsuru Junmai Koshu is aged Sake brewed in 2007. It has matured aroma, smoky and rich in taste which resembles a whisky or a Guinness beer. The flavour starts out really bold and heavy body but suddenly disappears with cleansing on the palate which doesn’t linger. This Sake goes perfectly with Anko & Cheese wrapped in Gyoza Wrapper. The cheese itself is its own character the richness from the Koshu Sake blends perfectly well with the cheese character and matches the sweetness from Anko red bean texture.
