This international award-winning Junmai daiginjyo Genshu (undiluted) is an elegant example of the feminine Hiroshima sake. This sake, is artfully brewed with locally grown rice and soft, sweet well water. The heart of this sake stems from enticing aromas of lily, pear, and cotton candy harmonizing with a flavor of bittersweet spiced persimmon and a refined, hint of toasted nougat. This versatile bottle can be enjoyed on-the-rocks, chilled, at room temperature, or mildly warm.

Food paring:Raw fish, shellfish, lightly flavored dishes, simple dishes with natural sweetness, etc.
(E.g. Hiroshima oyster with ponzu and grated radish, shrimp dumpling with mustard, grilled scallop, flounder tempura, etc.)

A dry and mineraly expression of daiginjo that is quite appealing to true sake lovers. Dry flavors of the grain show somehow, before the dried fruit nuances, and that is quite unusual for a junmai daiginjo. However, those flavors of the rice give this sake a great ability to pair with so many foods that are outside the box of what most will think of to try... like fresh fruit, gourmet cheese, and pastas with a creamy alfredo sauce..

This fresh, crisp, Junmai Daiginjyo hails from the clear vision of a new generation of young brewers. It's airy texture compliments the most delicate types of dishes. Their passionate quest for originality is manifested in the young tropical fruit-driven aroma and cantaloupe flavor with a tenderly dissolving snowy finish. Best enjoyed chilled, as an aperitif or with fresh-tasting appetizers.

Food paring:Raw and fresh foods, delicately flavored dishes, etc. (E.g. Fresh cold tofu, steamed egg custard, fresh spring roll with shrimp, halibut usuzukuri, etc.)

Though the aroma of this full-bodied Junmai Daiginjo made with earthy Omachi rice is quite modest, when aerated in a mouth, it blossoms with a soft bouquet of white rose and steamed rice. Aged for three years, the mild yet refreshing breeze of umami leaves a powder-sugar finish reminiscent of meringue and angel cake. Food-friendly sake at its best. Enjoy chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed.

Food paring:Fresh and savory dishes, etc. (E.g. Monk fish liver with ponzu sauce, chirashi-zushi*, seared bonito with scallions and gingers, shrimp-stuffed lotus root tempura, etc.)
* chirashi-zushi : garnished sushi (or, a sushi rice bowl topped with assorted sashimi)

Much more bold and flavorful than most junmai daiginjo, this sake is well balanced and shows aromas and flavors that could easily be mistaken for a ginjo style sake. It has a very elegant and mouth-coating texture, and shows flavors of starfruit, casaba and cantaloupe melons, and just a hint of baseball card bubble gum. A very chewy mouthfeel with a long, full finish that makes this sake a great cocktail.

The Mutsu-Sho Junmai Dai-ginjo begins your sake experience with wonderful aromas of cantaloupe and cassaba melons, dried pineapple, and summer apricot blossoms.
On the palate you will find this medium bodied sake showing delicate flavors of crisp jicama, ripe apricot, Asian pear, and a hint of persimons.
The finish is medium in length, silky, elegant and seductive....
This sake is great chilled, but for a truely unique treat, we reccomend you also try slightly warmed.
