Kubota “Daiginjo Genshu”
Niigata prefecture
The ideal mealtime daiginjo
This brew has all the sophistication of a daiginjo with the unapologetic expressiveness of a “genshu” (undiluted sake.) A floral aroma and dry first impression lead to a soft umami followed by a smooth, clean finish. Undertones of pear and mushroom make for a dynamic flavor that pairs well with indulgent foods, such as loaded baked potatoes, buttery scallops and quiche with feta cheese.
