Product details
Banshu Ikkon Aiyama Junmai Ginjo is an exceptional sake crafted by Sanyohai Shuzo, a distinguished brewery located in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. This sake is brewed using the rare and highly esteemed Aiyama rice, cultivated exclusively in Hyogo. The soft grains of Aiyama rice dissolve easily during fermentation, allowing the toji (master brewer) to produce a sake with lush textures and expressive flavors, showcasing their skill and precision.
Upon tasting, Banshu Ikkon Aiyama Junmai Ginjo presents bright and expressive aromas of fresh strawberries, transitioning into flavors of tart, dark cherries with an underlying floral component. This harmonious balance of fruit and floral notes makes it a versatile companion to various dishes. It pairs beautifully with mild fare such as steamed whitefish, and the fruity flavors also complement tomato or eggplant-based dishes like ratatouille. Additionally, it complements sushi, grilled fish, and lightly seasoned dishes, enhancing the overall dining experience. For optimal enjoyment, serve this sake chilled to fully appreciate its delicate flavors and aromas.
