The first sake of the brewing season. Fruit aroma and a brilliant acidity make this sake clean and fresh.
Junmai Ginjo
Masumi No. 7 Yeast
Rice polished to 55% remaining
17% alcohol
Unpasteurized, undiluted, unapologetic
Fresh and punchy with sweet and tangy fruit elements and a clean, crisp backstop. Has the undiluted strength to pair with rich winter foods like miso-marinated fish, dark meat stews, and pasta with heavy cream or cheese sauces, but also has the fresh acidity to go with citrus salads or ceviche.
