Kunizakari Handagou Kobo 1801 Junmai Ginjo is a distinguished sake from Nakano Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., located in Handa City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Established at the end of the Edo period, the brewery has a rich history of refining traditional techniques while embracing innovative technology. The "Kunizakari" brand, translating to "country prosperity," reflects the brewery's dedication to producing exceptional sake that embodies the spirit and culture of its region.
This Junmai Ginjo sake is meticulously crafted using Wakamizu rice, a premium sake rice variety cultivated in Aichi Prefecture, polished to 55% of its original grain size. Fermented at low temperatures with yeast strain No. 1801, it boasts a splendid ginjo aroma featuring notes of ripe pear, banana, and chestnut. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of rich umami flavors, including hints of apple, grape, and rice, leading to a slightly dry finish. This versatile sake pairs well with a variety of dishes such as vegetable tempura, pickled onions, grilled mackerel, and sashimi. Notably, it has received several accolades, including the Grand Prix Award at the 2020 U.S. National Sake Appraisal and a Gold Medal at The Fine Sake Award Japan 2020.
