Watari Bune Junmai Ginjo 55 Sake (BTL 720ml)

President Takaaki Yamauchi tells us that their brewery is unique in that they support local farmers of Ibaraki by using native Watari Bune rice. This particular junmai ginjo is fruit-forward and juicy with aromas of pineapple, melon, and banana with a minerality in its flavor. Our certified cheese professional friend Kevin recounts the winning cheese: "This worked very well with the soft creamy sheep cheese, Brebirousse d’Argental, as we found a ‘third flavor’ emerging from the intersection of cheese and sake where sweet, nutty, fatty, earthy flavors mingled in complex and pleasant ways." Try this sake in a wine glass slightly chilled.
