Born Gold Junmai Daiginjo 15% 720ml

 

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale golden hue due to lack of charcoal filtration and gentle refinement.

• Aroma: Elegant and layered with green apple, peach, sweet rice and subtle floral notes.

• Palate: Smooth, creamy, and fruit-accented — gentle but expressive with a soft, rich mouthfeel.

• Finish: Clean and refined without harsh alcohol twang, making it approachable for both novices and seasoned sake lovers.

 

Food Pairing 

Pairs exceptionally well with foods that match its delicate and nuanced profile:

• Fresh seafood & sashimi — sea urchin (uni), scallops, crab — complement the fruity minerality.

• Cheese & creamy appetizers — soft cheeses, buttery dishes; the creamy texture elevates the sake’s texture.

• Delicate Japanese cuisine — tempura, light grilled fish, sushi.

• Subtle-flavoured Western fare — chicken with light sauces, mild pastas.

 

Serving Suggestions

• Chilled (8–10 °C): Ideal to highlight the fruit and floral aromatics.

• Slightly cold / cellar temperature: Enhances complexity and smooth body.

• Glassware: A wine glass helps capture the bouquet and express nuanced flavours.
