Yuki Otoko Junmai "Yeti" Cup

oki Shuzo, also makers of the very different line of products called Kakurei, designed Yuki Otoko to be their super-dry brand of sake. For a while it was so popular in Japan that the annual production sold out too quickly to export. They’ve since scaled up so it comes to the US in limited amounts. The palate is super fresh and clean, like snowmelt on a mountain. A touch floral, a bit of soft spice (nutmeg, allspice) and a nutty almond umami. Super dry finish with cleansing astringency.
