Product details
Dewazakura Green Ridge Primal Strength Nama Genshu Sake is a testament to the innovative spirit and traditional craftsmanship of Dewazakura Sake Brewery, established in 1892 in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. Renowned for pioneering the ginjo sake boom in 1980 with their "Oka" label, Dewazakura continues to blend time-honored techniques with modern practices to create exceptional sakes. Green Ridge Primal Strength is a Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu, meaning it is unpasteurized (nama) and undiluted (genshu), offering a pure and robust expression of the sake's character. Crafted from the Dewasansan rice variety polished to 50%, this sake embodies the brewery's dedication to quality and regional authenticity.
Upon tasting, Green Ridge Primal Strength presents a lively and engaging profile. The initial sip delivers a noticeable lift, followed by a pleasant tartness reminiscent of green apple, and concludes with a brisk, refreshing finish. Its floral nose and mellow fruity flavor make it an excellent choice for those new to sake. This sake's vibrant acidity and fresh viscosity allow it to pair wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including spicy foods, grilled eel, chili shrimp, sashimi, oysters on the half-shell, grilled tuna, sea bass, and halibut. For optimal enjoyment, serve this sake chilled and keep it refrigerated after purchase.
