Located at the foot of Mount Iide, the brewery utilizes exceptionally soft subterranean water—traditionally worshipped as a gift from the gods—to produce its diverse range of sakes. Under the leadership of fourth-generation president Hiroyuki Karahashi, Aizu Homare has gained international acclaim, notably winning the Champion Sake title at the 2015 International Wine Challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fruit-infused sake is a milky, unfiltered nigori blended with natural lychee and a touch of lemon juice. It features a cloudy appearance and a velvety, smoothie-like texture due to the presence of fine rice sediment. The nose is vivid and aromatic, unfolding with layers of ripe lychee, banana, and pear. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of creamy sweetness and crisp, tangy acidity, reminiscent of biting into a fresh, peak-season lychee. The finish is refreshing and light, leaving a delicate umami undertone. ABV 10%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lush sweetness and tropical profile of this lychee nigori make it an excellent choice for an aperitif or a palate cleanser. It pairs exceptionally well with spicy dishes, such as buffalo chicken wings or Thai curry, where the creamy texture helps mellow the heat. For a sweet conclusion, serve it chilled alongside chocolate desserts, fresh fruit, or vanilla bean panna cotta. It is also highly versatile for cocktails; try mixing it with two parts tonic water and a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing long drink.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300824 - Sake Gami Corp.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48347639480532,"sku":"873766","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7645\/6404\/files\/Aizu-Homare-Lychee-Nigori-Sake.jpg?v=1784770176","url":"https:\/\/borderlinebottles.ca\/products\/aizu-homare-lychee-nigori-sake-300-ml","provider":"Borderline Bottles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
