【Description】
Experience the bold and untamed side of Japanese sake with Minna no Sakagura Doburoku Tsubutsubu, a chunky, sparkling unfiltered sake from Iwate Prefecture in Japan’s Tohoku region. Made with 100% Iwate-grown Gin-otome rice, this doburoku is packed with natural rice texture, lively carbonation, and deep umami flavour.
Where Minna no Sakagura Torotoro is smooth and creamy, Tsubutsubu is its wilder sibling. This sake is full of character, with abundant moromi sake mash left in the bottle to create a grainy, textured mouthfeel and a powerful rice-forward taste. It challenges the idea of what Japanese sake can be, making it a perfect choice for adventurous sake lovers in Singapore.
【Tasting Notes】
Lively, sparkling, and intensely rice-forward, with a pronounced grainy texture and rich umami depth. The natural carbonation gives it energy and freshness, while the finish remains surprisingly clean and refreshing despite its bold body.
【How to Enjoy & Food Pairing】
Serve well chilled and enjoy slowly to appreciate its bold rice texture, lively sparkle, and rich umami flavour. This doburoku is especially enjoyable as a dessert-like sake, offering a unique “eating rice” sensation with every sip. Its full-bodied sweetness and textured mouthfeel make it a great choice for those who enjoy rich, unconventional Japanese sake. Enjoy it well chilled after a meal, or pair it with simple desserts, rice-based sweets, mochi, lightly sweet Japanese confectionery, or creamy desserts.
