About
Brewed exclusively with Iwai, a premium sake rice grown in Kyoto that was revived through the cooperation of dedicated farmers and local government agencies, this junmai ginjo is polished to a rice polishing ratio of 60%. A gentle-textured junmai ginjo with a well-balanced acidity and umami, it can be enjoyed from chilled to warmed (kan), though it is best served at a cool temperature slightly below room temperature.
