Taiyozakari Junmai Ginjo (72 cl)

A Junmai sake made entirely from Takane nishiki rice – which is rarely grown in Niigata – and then carefully brewed with local Ginjo yeast. The result is a slightly fruity aroma, smoothness where the umami of the rice develops and a light finish that makes this sake balanced and perfectly suited to meals. It is this beautiful acidity combined with aromatic complexity that makes it a gateway to the world of sake.

Awarded a Gold Medal at the National Heated Sake Competition in 2018 and 2021, and a Grand Gold Medal in 2022, it goes without saying that this sake can be enjoyed from 8°C to 40°C.

It is an elegant accompaniment to mild dishes with light ingredients: fried octopus, salt-roasted Kuruma plum, crab or Siu Mai shrimp, sole meunière, white fish mousse, scallops steamed in wine, seafood salad, as well as light dishes with lemon or vinegar.
