The most attractive characteristic of Mutsuhassen is its unique milky aroma. Since this sake is bottled right after pressing directly from the sake cask, the liquid contains melted rice a little and its taste is little sweet. However, the finish is clean and dry.
This unique aroma is the hint of this pairing. With adding sake lees in the cheesecake, sake's decent scent comes after the milky scent influenced by cheese. The nature of sweetness between sake and cake is very similar. Let's take a sip after having one bite of cake. It’s perfect marriage.
