Shirataki ‘Jozen Mizuno Gotoshi’ Pink Jukusei Junmai 白瀧酒造-熟成粉上善如水-純米吟釀清酒 720ml Ginjo Sake

The “Upgrade” on one of the most drinkable sakes in Japan resulted in a more full-bodied version of its former self.

With a nose of plums, strawberries, cherries, white raisins, straw and steamed rice this brew, which used to be matured for 6 months now gets aged for a full year to bring out more smoothness and body.

Behold a wider, fatter, and more dry sake than its previous incarnation. Round and smooth dried fruit flavors are well balanced with an elevated acidity level creating another great version of a Niigata dry and clean sake that has both body and flavor in a pristine package.

WORD: Smooth

FOODS: Shellfish, sushi, sashimi, grilled fish and chicken.
