Sake One Momokawa Pearl Junmai Ginjo Nigori - 750 ml
Produced by SakeOne, America's first craft sake brewery founded in 1992, Momokawa Pearl is an Oregon-born expression that follows traditional Japanese brewing techniques. The brewery utilizes the pristine, soft water of the Willamette Valley and premium Calrose rice grown in the Sacramento Valley to create a bridge between Japanese heritage and American craft innovation.
Description
This premium nigori is a Junmai Ginjo, meaning it is crafted without added alcohol and uses rice polished to at least 60%. It presents a stark, milky white appearance with a significant amount of rice sediment that creates a rich, creamy body. The nose is bold and tropical, featuring aromas of coconut, pineapple, and banana accented by a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it delivers a lush, velvety mouthfeel with flavours of melon, creamy tapioca, and sweet rice. Despite its apparent sweetness, it maintains a clean and surprisingly dry finish with a touch of mineral crispness. ABV 14.5%.
Food Pairing
The creamy texture and tropical fruit notes of Momokawa Pearl make it a champion for pairing with heat and spice. It is a classic match for spicy tuna rolls, Thai green curry, and blackened salmon. It also pairs remarkably well with grilled meats featuring sweet and savory glazes, such as BBQ ribs or Hawaiian-style pulled pork. For dessert, try it alongside flourless chocolate cake or coconut macaroons. It is best served chilled; be sure to shake the bottle gently before opening to fully integrate the rice "pearls".
