Today, as a wide variety of higher quality products are imported from Japan, sake service has transitioned to almost exclusively cold sake. While refreshing and enjoyable, we would like to introduce additional serving temperatures. At Momosan, in addition to serving cold sake, we will serve sake at a range of temperatures, from room temperature, to warm or hot. Please try sake at different temperatures, and enjoy a whole new flavor profile. 徳利など温度のめやす 香り・味わい Temperature/feel Flavor/Taste 常温 室温 自然な酒の香りが味わえる Jo-on Room temperature Natural flavor 日向燗 温度の高さを感じないくらい ほんのり香りが引き立つ Hinatakan Close to room temperature Slight flavor 人肌燗 さわると温かく感じる 味にふくらみがある米や麹の良い香りがする Hitohadakan When you touch the bottle, you feel the warmth- 35c Nice flavor of rice and koji ぬる燗 熱くはない程度 香りがよく出る Nurukan Not hot but warm- 40c Flavorful 上燗 注いだときに湯気が出る程度 引き締まった香りを感じる Jokan When you pour it, steam comes out- 45c Sharp flavor 熱燗 徳利から湯気が生じるさわると熱く感じる キレの良い辛口 香りがシャープになる Atsukan Steam comes out from the bottle, the bottle is hot- 60c Very sharp taste and dry flavor 飛びきり燗 徳利を持つと熱いくらい シャープな香りで、より辛口になる Tobikirikan Too hot to touch the bottle- 65c Sharper and drier taste junmai – recommendation: any temperature ginjo – recommendation: up to nurukan junmai ginjo – recommendation: up to jokan junmai daiginjo – recommendation : up to nurukan tokubetsu junmai – recommendation: up to atsukan nigori – recommendation: hitohadakan or nurukan aged sake – recommendation: up to nurukan morimoto sake chef morimoto’s sake from fukumitsuya brewery ishikawa, japan glass carafe 720 ml 1.8l bottle morimoto junmai 9 20 68 12 5 honeyed walnuts, sweet finish morimoto junmai ginjo 11 24 96 160 caramelized pear, stone fruit morimoto junmai daiginjo 15 37 150 230 melon, honeysuckle, rich texture 300ml morimoto nigori 42 semi- sparkling nigori, fresh and clean aftertaste 210ml easy cup morimoto junmai gekkeikan co. 11 premium rice notes, dry flavor, balanced texture momosan sake flight – served cold balanced selection of four of chef morimoto’s sakes. his junmai, junmai ginjo, junmai daiginjo and nigori. a study in the evolution of sake, following the expanded milling of the ric e. 720 ml momosan sake flight 34 playful sake flight – s e r v ed c ol d selection of four playful sakes. playful sake flight 32 smooth sake glass carafe 720 ml 1.8l bottle morimoto junmai daiginjo 15 37 150 230 melon, honeysuckle, rich texture masumi ginjo 13 30 170 wisteria, mountain peach, clean and dry suijin junmai 9 23 138 preminum water feel, manly, dry take no tsuyu junmai 8 21 130 clean, light fruity tones, sweet acidity hana no mai ginjo 9 23 140 honeyed lemon, dried pineapple fukuju junmai daiginjo 13 30 165 tropical fruits, citrus konteki junmai daiginjo 12 28 160 morning dew, banana, truffle classic sake glass carafe 720 ml 1.8l bottle morimoto junmai ginjo 11 24 96 16 0 caramelized pear, stone fruit otokoyama tokubetsu 9 23 140 junmai unmistakable dryness, working acidity dassai 50 junmai daiginjo 9 23 140 lush green apple, medium dry hakkaisan tokubetsu junmai 11 24 135 smooth, dry, high acidity suishin junmai 9 2 322 -
