Gekkeikan Black & Gold Junmai Sake (75cl, 15.6%)

Gekkeikan Black & Gold is a junmai sake made from water, rice and yeast. It blends the house's traditional sake with Haiku, in the way a blended whiskey is put together: the master brewer selects the best from each fermentation. It is full-bodied and well balanced, with a sugar level of 16 g/L. It can be served warm, slightly chilled or at room temperature, and suits grilled duck, chicken, pork, scallops and steamed shellfish. On the palate there are notes of honeydew, papaya, anise and toasted nuts, followed by a long, smooth finish.
