About

A dry ginjo sake well suited to summer, best enjoyed chilled and crisp. Its subtle ginjo aroma does not get in the way of food. It pairs superbly with suzuki (Japanese sea bass) and kohada (gizzard shad), both in season in summer, and it also goes well with Western dishes such as carpaccio and cold pasta.
