Awards/Ratings
Retail descriptions list it as a single‑field, super‑premium Junmai Ginjo; earlier vintages (2018/2019) are sold as the same premium single‑rice offering

Tasting Note
Fragrant orchard fruit (pear, apple), white flowers and gentle spice with delicate rice umami, fine acidity and an off‑dry, crisp finish.

Sushi, sashimi, tempura, steamed white fish; Western: grilled vegetables, roast chicken, light salads and soft cheeses; Asian: yakitori, teriyaki chicken, Korean barbecue (lighter cuts), Thai seafood dishes.

Production Method
Junmai Ginjo brewed from Gohyakumangoku rice polished to ~55%. Small‑batch, single‑rice‑field production with low‑temperature fermentation; typically pasteurized before distribution (estimated).
