Winemaker Notes
Light bodied with a delicate balance of flavors and textures, this is the pinnacle of the Hakurakusei series. Heirloom Omachi rice milled to 40% gives a slightly herbal and savory quality.
This is an elegant premium sake that matches a range of cuisine.
A notch above Junmai in its milling requirement, by definition Junmai Ginjo requires milling of 40% of the rice grain so that 60% of each grain remains. The categories of saké are established not by rice variety, but by the polishing or milling percentages. Junmai Ginjo is made up solely of water, koji mold, yeast and rice and is brewed without any additon of alcohol. This style goes well with fresh, lightly seasoned dishes such as sashimi, carpaccio or seared oysters.
