Product details
Shirataki Sake Brewery, established in 1855 in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, is celebrated for its dedication to producing premium sake using traditional methods and pristine natural resources. One of their distinguished offerings is the Jozen Aged Junmai Ginjo "Pink," a sake that exemplifies the brewery's commitment to quality and innovation. This expression is crafted from 100% Japanese rice, polished to a 55% seimaibuai, and undergoes careful aging at very low temperatures. This meticulous process enhances its depth and complexity, resulting in a sake that is both refined and full-bodied.
Upon pouring, Jozen Aged Junmai Ginjo "Pink" reveals a nose rich with the scent of plums, cherries, and raisins. The palate is greeted with a slightly sour taste, complemented by deep and rich aftertastes that develop from its aging process. This medium-dry sake boasts a balanced profile with elevated acidity, making it versatile for various culinary pairings. It pairs exceptionally well with shellfish, sushi, sashimi, grilled fish, and chicken, enhancing the flavors of these dishes without overpowering them. Whether enjoyed chilled or warmed, Jozen Aged Junmai Ginjo "Pink" offers a sophisticated and harmonious tasting experience that reflects the artistry of Shirataki Sake Brewery.
