Here is his opinion on our various sakes imported exclusively for Le Comptoir Inari.
It's a Japanese sake that has Peps!
A fine nose of airy yeast, to the taste the iodine side is intense and long. A taste of grape stalk, slight presence of orange peel. A bold side that evokes Meursault and premier cru charms. A tomato side also stands out and it is very pleasant but complex. It’s a sake that should be drunk chilled. With a raclette it would be ideal, an Auvergne hotpot, mozarella tomato… Or even a sauerkraut!
This is a top-flight selection from the Comptoir Inari catalog.
This Sake has a delicate salty side to pair with red meat. Which is particularly interesting.
Tasted at 16 °, it's a real crush!
Macvin note, straw wine, phenomenal length. Bitter cocoa aroma with a sweetness on the nose, peanut.
This is a double fermentation and aged sake that you absolutely must discover. An acidity returns at the end, which lets imagine pairings with marbled cheeses such as Roquefort and chocolate.
It's a bomb!
You will soon be able to find some of our sakes in their delicatessen Autour du Yuzu!
