Momokawa “Diamond”
Oregon
The prize of Oregon
This medium-dry junmai ginjo won silver in the 2017 World Sake Challenge. Not only a big win for a sake, but a big win for SakéOne brewing. The taste of victory is a premium, balanced soft-water sake with fall fruit flavors and a pinch of anise in the aroma. The uncompromised dedication of America’a first commercially successful brewery shines through every sip. This just goes to show that authentic sake can be made around the globe.
