Kanbara "Ancient Treasure" Yamahai Junmai Genshu Koshu Sake (720ml)
Review Date: 12/2023
This extremely interesting, and very unique sake, is a look into the history of Japan. A mouth full of sea salt caramel, dried orange peel, gyoza dipping sauce, bitter chocolate. Needless to say, there is a LOT going on here. I can see it with pate, duck, sautéed mushrooms, salty and nutty cheeses. This is a must try for any sake connoisseur.

Notes
Aged for over a decade this Koshu is a rare style to see in the United States - there are only a few that get imported, but it is surely a treat to see and taste. Kanbara's Ancient Treasure is a Yamahai Junmai Genshu Koshu and has incredible notes of toffee, sea salt, soy sauce, Moutai Feitain, chocolate, and well aged Sauternes. Lots of koji in the production offers an incredible umami profile that matures beautifully over the years. The pairing possibilities are endless - cheese plate, foie gras, wagyu beef. Just taste it and get creative. You're likley to find magic here.
