This Junmai Ginjo sake fully conveys the charm of the rare sake rice "Aiyama." It is characterized by a rich acidity and a soft, full-bodied mouthfeel, expressing the uniqueness and potential of "Aiyama." Enjoy the evolving flavors and complexity as the story unfolds from the moment it is poured into a glass, and as the temperature of the sake changes.

The acidity of "Aiyama" is particularly noteworthy. It has a high-quality, rich acidity that no other sake rice can match. It resembles tropical fruits or ripe melon—vibrant and bursting with life, with a depth and warmth that remains smooth, leaving a lingering and indescribably pleasant aftertaste.

 

Best Served: Chilled.

Food Pairing: Grilled lamb, walnut prawns, apple pie.
