Product details
Kurosawa Ginrei is a traditional Junmai Daiginjo. Its name, which means "Silver Peak," invokes an image of pure-white snowcapped mountains. It is also a reference to the ideal brewing conditions for sake: natural clean air; high-quality water; and cool temperatures. Pasteurized only once before bottling. Ginrei is a food-friendly Junami Daiginjo that provides an exquisite balance between acidity and refreshing sweetness.
Pale silver straw color. Aromas and flavors of pineapple upside down cake, ambrosia, kiwi, jicama, and rice candy wrapper with a satiny, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, engaging, long Asian pear, pineapple custard, white chocolate toffee with dried cherries, and iced chai finish. A nuanced blend of fruit and savory flavors makes this a versatile sake for all occasions. This sake’s unique acidity makes it an ideal aperitif. It also makes an excellent accompaniment to light-flavored dishes such as vegetables and seafood.
