This purely clean and surprisingly dry sake is a one of the most popular products from Ichinokura Brewery. Restrained aroma, crisp and sharp on the palate with mint and slight nutty notes. A subtle attack on the senses leads to bright umami and refreshing apple aftertaste.

A self-proclaimed "perfect Ginjo for meals’, this sake works great paired chilled with a cold starter (like prawn cocktail) before warming to room temperature to complement your main course (like risotto). The nose is a gentle mix of dried fruits, nutmeg and banana. To taste it’s a relatively light and dry sake with dried pineapple and classic ginjo melon flavours.
