Tasting Notes

Seductive and fruit-forward. A whisper of spring flowers (a hint of lilac) leads to notes of peach and citrus on the nose. Each sip reveals layers of melon and tropical fruits like starfruit and pineapple, with a touch of marzipan sweetness. Despite the fruity aroma, the profile stays balanced by a present, refreshing acidity that gives it a crisp finish. As it glides to a close, look for a lingering tang of grapefruit and subtle hints of cinnamon and honey in the aftertaste – complexity that never overwhelms, thanks to the sake’s graceful, velvety texture.

Food Pairings

This ginjo is excellent with seafood and lighter meats. It’s a natural alongside sashimi, seared scallops, or a simple grilled fish with citrus. Thanks to its brightness and gentle sweetness, it also complements Western dishes: try it with an herb-crusted pork tenderloin or a peppery steak (mimicking the classic pairing of veal in pepper butter). Its versatility extends to mildly spicy foods – the fruity notes can tame heat, so dishes like spicy tuna rolls or even lightly spiced barbecue ribs find a friendly match. Serve chilled around 50–60°F for best results, and notice how the aroma opens up as it warms in the glass.
