Product details
Koshi No Tosetsuka Junmai Ginjo is a distinguished sake crafted by the Echigo clan of brewers in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. This exceptional ginjo-shu is produced using highly polished native rice from the Echigo fields, specifically the Niigata Gohyakumangoku variety, milled to 60%. The brewing process involves blending the rice with high-quality water and storing it in snow-covered sake vats, a traditional method that enhances the sake's purity and flavor. This meticulous craftsmanship reflects the rich heritage and dedication of the Echigo brewers to producing premium sake.
Tasting Koshi No Tosetsuka Junmai Ginjo reveals a soft and elegant profile with a super dry and light character. Aromas of cherry blossom, plum wine, and ripe yellow pear lead to delicate flavors of yellow apple, cantaloupe, and honeydew. The sake's acidity subtly emerges after swallowing, contributing to a refreshing finish. This versatile sake pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes, including fresh seafood, sushi, sashimi, tempura, steamed vegetables, grilled meats, and rich, umami-packed dishes. It can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed, offering a unique experience with each serving temperature.
