Product details
Kinokuniya Bunzaemon Junmai Ginjo Sake is a tribute to one of Kishu's most iconic historical figures, the daring merchant Kinokuniya Bunzaemon. Known for his bold spirit and success in transporting Kishu mandarin oranges to Edo during the Edo Period, this sake embodies the same passion and excellence. Brewed in Wakayama, the heartland of premium rice cultivation, it combines carefully selected Omachi and Yamada Nishiki rice to create a sake rich in the wholesome goodness of the region. The result is a premium Junmai Ginjo with a full-bodied profile that celebrates the harmony of tradition and craftsmanship.
This sake offers a gentle, refined flavor rather than an overwhelming fragrance, featuring a balance of savory richness and pleasant sourness. The Omachi rice contributes aromatic depth, while Yamada Nishiki adds structure and body. Best enjoyed chilled, Kinokuniya Bunzaemon Junmai Ginjo delivers a refreshing taste and subtle ginjo aroma that pairs beautifully with light, flavorful dishes. With accolades from the Monde Selection and the London Sake Challenge, this award-winning sake is a testament to its superior quality and timeless appeal, perfect for both seasoned connoisseurs and those new to premium sake.
