Moonstone “Asian Pear”
Oregon
Pear-fection
A solid addition to SakeOne’s repertoire, Moonstone “Asian Pear” has won gold and silver in some big competitions, and it’s clear why. It tastes like the brewers plucked a ripe pear and fresh squeezed it right into the sake. A plump aroma accompanies the crisp ginjo’s soft sweetness. There’s a snippet of dryness that plays off the sweetness. This combo makes Moonstone “Asian Pear” a sake you just might swoon over.
