Саке Жунмаи Гинджо Угьоку 0.720

A traditional premium Junmai Ginjo sake with the following characteristics: 58% rice polishing. Sake, the exotic drink from the Land of the Rising Sun, is certainly not the most popular in our part of the world, but that does not stop you from enjoying it. Since sake is very close to the idea of a rice wine, there are several categories that define the qualities and flavour characteristics of each sake. This category is called Junmai Ginjo and is regarded as a symbol of simple but well-made sakes. Here the rice used is precisely milled down to 60% of its core remaining. It is this core, which holds the concentration of starch, that is key to making good sake. Using mainly just rice and water in production results in delicate floral nuances, which you can best enjoy if you keep your sake well chilled in the refrigerator beforehand. Junmai Ginjo Ougyoku is a light and pleasant sake from a leading Japanese producer and is especially suitable for people who are just starting out in the world of sake. It can be drunk chilled or at room temperature; the latter brings out richer and stronger flavours. You can enjoy it as an aperitif or paired with light meat salads, sandwiches or desserts.
