One of our most popular seasonal selections, and we've managed to secure another case!  This tokubetsu junmai is soft and citrusy, with a luxurious, almost viscous mouthfeel.  It has notes of grapefruit and lemon throughout, creating a wonderful, beguiling contrast between the sharpness of the acidic citrus elements and the silky texture.  Traces of minerality and astringency on the edges make it an ideal pairing for oysters on the half-shell. 

Brewed with Omachi rice, the oldest recognized  sakamai ("saké rice"), discovered at the tail end of the Edo era (1603-1868).  Omachi is often referred to as  maboroshi,meaning "phantasmic" or "mystical," having to do with the difficulties involved in cultivating it and the superlative saké it can produce.

This delightful brew from Hiroshima is one of those rare junmai ginjo that are actually "built" to be enjoyed warm.  Raising the temperature a few degrees completely changes the game and brings the powerful umami to the fore.  It comes in the economical 900 ml size, too, which is nice.  

Come hunker down close to our kansuke sake warmer, and we'll take good care of you.
