Junmai Ginjo

Sho Chiku Bai Premium Ginjo

Sho Chiku Bai Premium Ginjo is a delightful sake that embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of traditional Japanese brewing. As a sommelier, I would describe it as a junmai ginjo, which means it is made with rice that has been polished to at least 60%, allowing for a refined flavor profile. On the nose, you can expect a bouquet of fruity and floral aromas, often reminiscent of ripe melon, apple, and subtle hints of jasmine. This aromatic complexity sets the stage for a tasting experience that is both refreshing and nuanced.
