Miyoshikiku Shirobudo Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Unrefined Nama-Genju
This is an unfiltered, unpasteurized junmai ginjo sake brewed with Tokushima Prefecture's Yamadanishiki and Tokushima yeast!
Miyoshikiku has other sake with a grape-like flavor, but this one smells and tastes very much like white grapes...with a slight lactic acid aroma.
The fresh mouthfeel is quite mellow and juicy!
The sweet and sour fruity taste is as if you are drinking high sugar content grape juice.
The name and label might suggest it, but it has a nice astringent taste like grape skins and seeds, and the finish is crisp and clean!
If you drink it without asking, some people may not even realize it's sake.
I think it goes well with Western, Chinese, and ethnic food rather than light Japanese food.
