88 Is extremely auspicious, and is the named after the 88th Tank in Kokuryu which held the most prized sake intended for exhibition.

 

• Aroma: The sake has a very divergent and aromatic nose, featuring rich fruit aromas like ripe white peach, nectarine, and mango, alongside floral fragrances of white rose and tulip.
• Taste: It offers a rich and expansive taste with a depth of flavor that fills the mouth, creating a harmony of concentrated sweetness, umami, and a slight bitterness. The finish is long and lingering with notes of fresh almond and cocoa.
• Serving Recommendations: Best enjoyed when chilled to 5-10°C.
• Food Pairings: Its elegant, rich flavor profile pairs well with umami-rich seafood like squid, scallops, and sea bream. The image text specifically suggests pairings with dishes like Western-style lobster ravioli. Its clean, sharp finish also complements light, elegant dishes such as sushi and sashimi.
