Sure, they make sake in all places — however do you know they make it in Arkansas? Origami Sake has the look of an Asian model, however it’s made in Sizzling Springs, from regionally grown rice.
Origami additionally has a non-alcoholic sake on its roster, which is what first attracted me to the model.
Origami makes 4 sakes now, however despatched us three. Ideas on the trio comply with.
Origami A Thousand Cranes Sake – A transparent sake, although there’s no actual indication of the precise model supplied. The pale, yellowish beverage is just a few steps above fundamental Japanese bottles and draft sake, providing a nice melon assault and a few citrus juice, all punctuated by a little bit of astringency. There’s additionally a shocking and light-weight smoky high quality right here, not disagreeable however uncommon, which at the very least serves as an umami-like distraction from the marginally industrial high quality of the sake itself. Adequate for takeout. B
Origami White Lotus Unfiltered Sake – A really cloudy nigori-style sake, that is fairly candy, heavy with notes of sesame cake, lychee, and honeydew, however sprinkled with a grind of sea salt. It’s all impregnated with an oxidized wine character that evokes ideas of Fino sherry and, finally, rice porridge. It’s too candy to pair with meals — I even had hassle balancing it with a rooster teriyaki — however with an Asian-inspired dessert it might do higher. B-
Origami Zero Non-Alcoholic Sake – Fairly yellow in shade, and actually odd all-around — frankly nothing like I’ve ever tasted (particularly sake). Notes of vanilla custard, lemon, coconut, and almond butter give this an oddball dessert character that’s nearly not possible to explain — candy, fruity, and intensely gummy. Guava sweet is probably the very best descriptor I’ve for it, and even that doesn’t fairly get all the way in which there. The end sticks with you eternally, to the purpose the place I merely couldn’t do away with it. I assumed this was pretty terrible firstly, it slowly grew on me, then I hated it once more after I realized I couldn’t do away with it. No less than it’s not D
