Kikusui Junmai Ginjo
A Refreshing Melody in a Bottle
Kikusui Junmai Ginjo, with its eye-catching blue bottle, serves as a delightful introduction to premium Japanese sake for both novices and seasoned enthusiasts.
This sake, crafted by the Kikusui Brewing Company in Niigata Prefecture, brings together a blend of tradition and innovation. Its unique taste, derived from carefully polished rice and natural ingredients, distinguishes it in the realm of junmai ginjo sakes.
Kikusui Junmai Ginjo is a harmonious blend of lightness and depth. The sake presents a fresh, nutty aroma with hints of cantaloupe melon, citrus, and banana. Its medium body strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and dryness, leaving a creamy touch in the mouthfeel. On the palate, it reveals delightful notes of orange, pear, and persimmon, leading to a finish that is drier and lighter than initially suggested, yet retaining a hint of sweetness characteristic of junmai ginjo sakes.
Originating from a romantic Noh play narrative, the Kikusui brand combines the words 'Kiku' (chrysanthemum) and 'Sui' (water), symbolizing longevity and purity. Despite facing challenges like post-war shortages and natural disasters, the Kikusui Brewery has remained committed to producing affordable, high-quality sakes. The brewery's dedication over its 130-year history is evident in every bottle of Kikusui Junmai Ginjo.
Its crisp acidity makes it a fantastic complement to savory meats, fruits, and mildly spicy dishes. It shines alongside chicken, pork, seafood, and can be a refreshing alternative to white wine.
Best enjoyed chilled between 5ºC to 15ºC, this sake is also delightful at room temperature or on the rocks.
