Characteristics of taste
This Junmai Ginjo sake is carefully and thoroughly brewed using Yamada-Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, which is considered to be of particularly high quality among the Yamada-Nishiki varieties known as the king of sake rice. It features a gorgeous ginjo aroma and an exquisite balance of elegant sweetness and moderate acidity. The smooth sweetness and clean aftertaste are reminiscent of white wine. It has received high praise at numerous tasting events, including the Delicious Sake in a Wine Glass Awards, the International Wine Challenge, and the Milan Sake Challenge. It also won an award for pairing with Parma prosciutto, making it a perfect match for both Japanese and Western cuisine.
