Minanogawa “Junmai Ginjo”
Ibaraki prefecture
Gentle, yet powerful
Made by a brewery with one of the few female executives in the sake world, this sake is produced using the same method as for daiginjo sake. It’s pressed very gently so that only the best tasting sake is collected, then pasteurized as soon as it’s bottled to lock in ultimate freshness. A good combination of gentleness and strength, expect sweet rice confectionery and pillowy expansion on the palate.
