A refreshingly juicy junmai ginjo-shu brewed by the next generation of brewers Junmai Ginjo-shu, one of AKABU's most popular Junmai Ginjo-shu Although it is labeled Junmai-Ginjo-shu, the rice used is 50% polished rice, a Junmai-Daiginjo-class ratio, and the result is a sake with almost no off-flavor and a finish that will leave you wanting another glass. The gorgeous ginjo aroma is fresh and fruity, like melon and apples. The pleasant aroma, like a sunny spring day, fills the drinker with a sense of excitement even before the sip is taken. The taste is refreshingly sweet with a clean sweetness. It also has a voluptuous and refreshing taste, but at the same time, it is juicy with a lot of umami. It is rare to find a sake with such a high level of balance between umami, acidity, and bitterness. The lingering aftertaste, with a slight hint of acidity, creates a bright sharpness, making this a sake that you will want to continue drinking for as long as you like. If you are a sake lover, you cannot afford not to drink this high-level sake! We hope you will try this wonderful bottle." (Sake specialty store Kagiya) I had a bottle at a gathering of relatives and it was very refreshing with a strong acidity!
