Tozai "Well of Wisdom" Ginjo Sake is an exquisite expression from the esteemed Tozai brand, crafted in the historic Fushimi district of Kyoto, Japan. This region is renowned for its abundant supply of pure, pristine, and soft water sourced from nearby mountains, making it ideal for sake production. The name "Tozai" signifies the blending of East and West, reflecting the brand's mission to introduce traditional Japanese sake to a global audience. "Well of Wisdom" is meticulously brewed using Gohyakumangoku and Gin-Ohmi rice varieties, polished to 55%, and fermented with Fushimi's soft water, resulting in a sake that embodies both tradition and innovation.
This Ginjo-grade sake delights the senses with enticing aromas of watermelon, honeydew, sweet melon, and a subtle hint of pistachio. On the palate, it offers a soft and silky texture, complemented by a touch of white pepper on the finish. With an alcohol content of 14.9% and a Nihonshu-Do (sake meter value) of +1, indicating a slightly dry profile, "Well of Wisdom" is a versatile companion to various dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with shrimp skewers, BBQ chicken, and citrus-based ceviches, enhancing the dining experience with its harmonious flavors. Best served chilled, this sake is perfect for warm days or as an aperitif, inviting both novices and connoisseurs to explore its depth and complexity.
