Junsei Benkei Junmai Ginjo R5 Special
This sake is brewed by reviving "Benkei" sake rice, which was actively cultivated in Hyogo Prefecture from the Taisho era to the beginning of the Showa era (1926-1989)!
It has a refreshing pear-like aroma, juicy flavor and elegant sweetness on the palate.
The fresh and thick acidity, a slight lingering gasiness that stimulates the tongue, and the astringency from the youthfulness of the freshly pressed sake accentuate the sharp impression in the latter half of the bottle.
A sweet and spicy sake with a light and refreshing impression with excellent balance and a strong sense of umami!
It is perfect as a food sake and complements both Japanese and Western cuisine.
Benkei" is a classic variety of sake rice that is now rare and completely different from "Yamadanishiki".
This sake seems to bring out the best of its characteristics!
