About
The refined elegance and clean finish that characterize Koshinokambai come from a thorough understanding of the qualities of sake rice and from brewing in the ginjo style and aging the sake slowly at low temperatures. Unlike recent trends in junmai sake, this junmai ginjo offers a light, crisp character (tanrei) that lets the natural flavor of rice shine. It is light and easy to drink and can be enjoyed at a range of temperatures, though around 10°C is especially recommended.
