"Silent Forest" Junmai Ginjo Sake is a new offering from Yauemon Brewery, a multi award winning, 200-year-old brewery steeped in history and tradition. They make superb, deep flavoured sake from their own organically farmed rice.
Silent Forest Sake stands out in the Junmai Ginjo category for its unique flavour profile and versatility, making it a great choice for any occasion.
A light but rich aroma of honey, melon & dried apricot greets the Silent Forest drinker. This is a medium-bodied sake, rich, slightly sweet and with solid acidity.
When drunk cold, the cooked fruit, honey, cinnamon and rice flavours are layered and nuanced with the acidity providing stable structure.
This is not a delicate sake with light citrus or berry flavours – as is typical for the Junmai Ginjo category – instead it has a rich, earthy and more comforting flavour that pairs superbly with salty foods or pickles, creamy cheeses and foods with umami flavours (a cheeseburger is a great match!)
When heated, Silent Forest ‘comes alive’ as the flavours, acidity and alcohol are heightened. When warm, we recommend pairing with fatty foods as the acidity will help dissolve the fat molecules and spread flavour around the mouth. It works particularly well with Pork Belly.
