Wonderfully clean and elegant, Joyo “Sunward Castle” Extra Dry Ginjo 55 goes down effortlessly. Immediately after opening, it gives a fresh, lively sensation that gradually becomes more balanced. A restrained, vanilla-like sweetness comes through thanks to the use of Kyoto prefecture’s signature Iwai rice. Still, its +10 sake meter value indicates that this sake is very dry. This is the kind of sake you could drink forever — never tiring, always satisfying.

“Super smooth and easy to drink. Has that clean, elegant aroma only great sake has. Made with Iwai rice (known for sweetness), yet beautifully balanced. Great on its own or with food.”

The story
