Shiokawa "Cowboy Yamahai" Junmai Ginjo Genshu Sake (720ml)

Review Date: 04/2023

Cowboy Junmai Ginjo sake is bold and big for a sake. At 19% abv you definitely feel the intensity. You get umami, big lush fruits, and cooked rice on the palette, all the while being hit in the face with the alcohol, but ending in a smooth finish. It is great for serious sake lovers that want a bolder tasting sake and can be served room temperature or slightly chilled at 40 degrees centigrade or 104 degrees Fahrenheit. It pairs best with richer dishes as well!

The cowboy is gentle yet savory. There's a hint of tropical fruit and melon, then white flowers and creamy vanilla, but what hits home are the notes of slight saline, meatiness, and wafting smoke. It's more savory on the palate with more smoke as well, vanilla, salt, white pepper, then back to gentle smoke in the finish. The texture is big and round, so that along with the flavors, this sake can stand up to some heftier food pairings.

Notes

If you're looking for a big and robust sake to pair with a steak - look no further. This undiluted sake is made in the yamahai style and is loaded with umami flavors. Milled to 60% this brewery produced excellent yamahai sake - it is the main portion of their production. Only three employees work at the brewery, Shiokawa-san, his wife, and his cousin. If you want to flip your sake preconceptions on their head, grab a bottle of this and fire up the grill.
