Tsukinoi Junmai Ginjo

月の井 純米吟醸

Tsukinoi — Tsukinoi Sake Brewery, Ibaraki

The sake that comes to mind first for Tsukinoi, and far more than simply delicious. For a standard bottling, its luxurious flavor is what makes it special. In fact, it was once served on Lufthansa German Airlines flights.

The junmai ginjo designation at 50% polishing and 16% alcohol suggests a moderate ginjo aroma, while the description of a rich, mellow mouthfeel followed by a sharp finish (キレ) points to a fuller body with a dry-leaning finish.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
