Product details
Koshi No Iso Junmai Ginjo Muroka Genshu is a distinguished sake crafted by Koshi No Iso Shuzo, a brewery nestled in Fukui Prefecture, Japan. This family-operated brewery is renowned for its dedication to producing small-batch, pure rice sakes without any fortification. The Muroka Genshu variety, meaning non-charcoal filtered and cask-strength, is typically reserved for brewery staff, making this offering particularly special. The sake is meticulously brewed using Koshi No Shizuku rice, a unique crossbreed of Hyogo Kita Nishiki and Miyama Nishiki strains, polished to 50% to achieve the esteemed Junmai Ginjo classification.
This sake presents a pale straw hue, indicative of its non-charcoal filtered nature. The nose is expressive and robust, offering aromas of sweet and dry rice complemented by subtle tropical fruit notes. On the palate, it delivers a rich, multi-layered experience with depth and complexity, characterized by a full-bodied and balanced profile. The finish is refreshing, making it an ideal companion for hearty cuisines. Serving this sake chilled enhances its intricate flavors, and it is best enjoyed in stemware, a sake glass, or a traditional masu.
