SAKEBERTO JUNMAI is best enjoyed warm or at room temperature,
but it can also be served chilled.

Warming the Junmai will enhance the Umami flavor
and bring slight apple and melon-like aromas,
with noticeable acidity, a sense of maturity, and bitterness.

SAKEBERTO JUNMAI, which is more full-bodied, can be enjoyed
with rich flavored foods.

The recommended storage period for unopened SAKEBERTO bottles is about one (1) year.
Once opened, they should be refrigerated and consumed within three (3) days.

PAIRING

Burgers, ribs, and steaks; fatty meats like fish and pork belly;
and rice-based dishes featuring heavy seasonings.
Italian cuisine also makes an unexpectedly excellent companion.
Dishes like caprese salad, pizza Margherita, risotto topped with
Parmesan cheese, or mushroom pasta will pair beautifully.

And because Junmai brings out the cheese’s lactic aspect, options
such as Camembert and Brie offer excellent pairing experiences.
Junmai also goes exceptionally well with mushrooms, asparagus,
and artichokes.

WARMING SAKEBERTO JUNMAI

As mentioned above, because SAKEBERTO JUNMAI tends to have
a stronger umami flavor, warming it enhances its richness.

So even though it is often served chilled, it can be enjoyed heated as well.
The traditional way of heating sake is by submerging the tokkuri (carafe) in hot water.    

Do not put the SAKEBERTO bottle(s) in the microwave.
