FOX OF FORTUNE JUNMAI GINJO
This dry Junmai Ginjo is brewed using Yamada Nishiki known for its full bodied mouthfeel but clean dry finish. The soft Fushimi water softens the pallet to pair seamlessly with various cuisines especially those that are rich in umami. The label features the Maneki Kitsune or 'Good Luck Fox', which is based on all the Kitsune (Fox) statues at the famous and nearby, Fushimi Inari Shrine.
Tasting Notes: Brilliant and crystal clear in the glass, this sake opens with an elegant nose of sweet jasmine mochi, lemon peel, and delicate orange blossom. The finish is long and bone dry, carrying a distinctive salted-peach note that lingers with crisp precision.
