IT’S A VERY SPECIAL TIME OF YEAR
AT LAST! OUR TOKUBETSU ("SPECIAL") SERIES HAS RETURNED WITH BATCH #5
Tokubetsu #5 is a favorite amongst the staff because of its slightly dry profile and subtly citrusy, earthy flavor notes. This batch is special because it was brewed in the heart of a summer heatwave, which pushed fermentation to new limits. Thanks to our additional manual refrigeration solutions, we were able to bring it down to the cool temperatures we typically aim for during fermentation- which gave us the time to properly develop complexity- and the result of the batch is both unique and delicious.
Here are our staff tasting notes, though feel free to come by the brewery for a sample and see what you think! We’ll have bottles for sale starting this Friday at 3pm.
Tastes like: Grapefruit, radicchio, pink pepper, osmanthus
Pairs with: Preserved lemon caesar, peppery salami, salmon in foil, chocolate mousse
Sounds like: Bossa nova on a beach radio
WORLD SAKE DAY CELEBRATION AT MIKA THIS FRIDAY!
As a reminder, Mika is hosting the second annual World Sake Day Celebration this Friday, Sept 30th!! We just bottled our specialty Sake Day Junmai and will be pouring it, along with a few other styles, at our booth from 5-9pm. There will be many other sakes to try from other breweries as well! Not to mention specialty glassware, delicious food, and amazing craft artisan booths.
Wishing a very happy World Sake Day to all the brewery workers, supporters, and sake-drinkers out there. We hope to see you at the party!
