About
This classic Junmai Ginjo sake opens with a beautiful ginjo aroma reminiscent of green apple and ripe pear. The entry is smooth, and then umami bursts across the tongue. Gentle acidity gives the whole its shape. It also pairs well with dishes that have a tangy character. It goes well with nanbanzuke (fish or chicken marinated in a sweet vinegar sauce), sweet and sour pork, chili sauce, and salsa. When combined with rice vinegar, this Junmai Ginjo takes on the character of a white wine. When paired with balsamic vinegar, it resembles a medium-bodied red wine. We invite you to try these almost magical flavor pairings for yourself.
