Product details
Ohyama Ginsuika, meaning "Silver Water," is a refined Junmai Ginjo sake crafted by Kato Kahachiro Sake Brewery, located in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. Established in 1872, the brewery has a long-standing tradition of producing high-quality sakes that embody the rich heritage of the region. The town of Ohyama has been renowned as a prominent sake brewing district since the early Edo period, beginning in the 17th century. This particular sake is brewed using the "Jusui-shu" method, which utilizes equal amounts of rice and water by volume, resulting in a well-balanced and harmonious flavor profile.
Ginsuika presents a well-balanced aroma of pear, cream, and floral notes. On the palate, it is light, smooth, and refreshing, with elegant sweetness complemented by fine acidity, making it a delightful and versatile sake. This sake pairs excellently with rich dishes such as shrimp mayonnaise, braised pork, and sukiyaki, enhancing the flavors of these hearty meals. For optimal enjoyment, it is recommended to serve Ginsuika chilled, allowing its nuanced flavors and aromas to shine.
