Izumibashi's White Dragonfly is a Junmai brewed by the traditional kimoto method, then aged two years before release. It comes from Kanagawa Prefecture and is made from Yamadanishiki rice polished to 65%. Its record is strong: Gold at the 2021 San Francisco International Wine Competition, an Honor Prize in the Junmai Kanzake category at the 2021 Tokyo Regional Sake Awards, and Silver in the Junmai category at IWC 2018.
This is a sake with weight. Rich body, well-balanced acidity and a deep umami that sits between bitterness and sweetness. The aroma runs through lychee, melon, muscat, orange, fragrant olive, lime, lemongrass, yogurt and anise. The palate is detailed and mellow, with gentle sweetness and clean acidity. The finish is long, with yogurt and sour cream notes lingering. 16% ABV, SMV +7.
It drinks well cold, at room temperature or warmed, which makes it a fine match for richer food: grilled meats, braises, aged cheese. Ralph's brings Izumibashi in direct for Metro Manila delivery.
