Samuel describes the brand new liquid as bridging the hole between a traditional sake and a liqueur like Plum sake or Yuzushu:
“The latter are all the time extra standard as a result of they’re candy however they lack any sake flavour. My thought was to bridge the hole to create a product which is able to domesticate Sake drinks, not plum wine drinkers. Peach’s (referred to as Momo in Japanese) are synonymous with Japanese tradition there’s a story of Momotaro (Peach Boy) goes that the boy is born from a peach and, accompanied by a canine, a monkey and a pheasant goes out to defeat the Ogres. This is only one model of the story, nonetheless, there are numerous extra. So naturally peach appeared like the precise match. We labored with Kanpai Sake Brewery in London to create a conventional umami-driven sake, to which we add a little bit of peach and sugar (solely 5%)… This added a delicate peach flavour and a few sweetness however retains the center of a Junmai sake, I actually imagine this sort of sake is what’s wanted to bridge the hole.“
Kabuki Peach Sake may be tasted throughout the bar at Spirits of Anarchy venues, and also will be made out there for purchasers to purchase throughout the commerce. And, fortunately, BarLifeUK has a bottle to disclose to one in every of our readers – enter the draw my filling out the shape beneath. Good luck!
