This bottle is a Sake Gumi selection! It was featured in May 2022 "Omachi Sake: Sturdy + Complex".

This bottle comes from one of our favorite umeshu makers based in Wakayama, Nakano BC. I love this junmai ginjo because it throws you for a loop. I typically expect a junmai ginjo to be fruity and crisp, but this has an assertive cream-of-mushroom nose that is savory and robust – which is quintessential to sakes made with Omachi rice. Because this is a sturdy sake full of shiitake and enoki-aromas, go ahead and pair it with heavier foods like bacon-wrapped asparagus and creamy, cheesy dips at room temperature.
