STYLE
Junmai Ginjo Nigori Genshu: Made with only rice, water, yeast & koji with the rice milled to 60%, it is cask strength and roughly filtered.
 
TASTING NOTES
This old style, roughly filtered sak¨¦ is an amazing experience. Pearl offers notes of vanilla and pineapple with banana, coconut, and anise rounding out a creamy body.
 
PAIRING NOTES
Pearl balances spicy dishes like Thai and Latin yet is a perfect match for rich chocolate deserts, fresh raspberries, and strawberries. Enjoy with steak, barbecue, and hearty dishes. Pull together an evening with spicy barbecue, crisp grilled vegetables, wild rice, and a layered chocolate cake with raspberry sauce drizzled liberally. Or simply enjoy Pearl on its own.
