Sho Chiku Bai Junmai Sake Skyline

Takara Sake USA was established in 1983 in Berkeley, California, with the goal of spreading Japanese culture through Sake. Since its founding, Takara has mastered the art of brewing premium sake in the U.S. by using Calrose rice from the Sacramento Valley and pure snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada Mountains. 'Sho Chiku Bai,' the flagship brand, signifies Takara's dedication to creating the finest Junmai-type sake from traditional Japanese techniques as well as modern sake-making technology. Sho Chiku Bai SKYLINE is a modern style of Junmai sake, brewed specifically with food pairing in mind. SKYLINE is crafted from 80% polished Calrose rice and a special house yeast to increase the levels of succinic acid, one of the backbones for creating umami on the palate. A small portion of barrel-aged sake is also blended in for a hint of tannins. Sho Chiku Bai SKYLINE is gluten free, sulfite free, vegan friendly, and kosher pareve.

Tasting Notes

Sho Chiku Bai SKYLINE was created with food pairing in mind! SKYLINE exhibits a concentrated umami richness, a result of brewing with a special house yeast. SKYLINE is drier and lighter-bodied, with a complex character of fruity, savory, and floral notes. Aromas and flavors of banana bread, cream cheese, tart red cherries and daffodils are complemented by hints of tannins and vanilla. SKYLINE is an intensely delicious yet bright Junmai sake, and makes for a wonderful pairing with a variety meats but especially Wagyu beef. Try it in lieu of a Pinot Noir or a Chianti.
