Tamagawa Tokubetsu Junmai 720ml
Size: 720ml | ABV: 16-17%
In 3 words: Simply happier hot
Best enjoyed warmed, this is a classic junmai with rich, crisp flavour which complements fresh seafood (crab, oysters etc) as well as tremendous match for tempura, fried foods, and all fuller-flavoured items on Japanese menus. Smokey, nutty top notes are joined by zingy berry-like fruitiness and plenty of rice-driven umami.
