Sommelier comment The moment the bottle is opened, Fukuju Junmai Ginjo, demonstrates "Traditional ginjo aroma!" Notes of marshmallows & ambrosia salad on the nose are accompanied by flavors of soft apricot & ripe honeydew melon. Medium to full bodied, sweet & chewy on the palate, this sake's presence of minerality pleasantly bitters on the mid-palate showing a harmonies balance through the long, elegant finish.

Sommelier comment A very unique nuance sets this sake apart from all others. A pleasant, lightly oxidized, nutty, almost sherry-like presence weaves itself seamlessly into the traditional ginjo aroma. Lots of fruit on this sake with an enormous mouth feel. A smooth and very well balanced structure with great flavors of dried and tropical fruits like pineapple, passion fruit and dried apricots with a touch of almonds help this sake linger to a racy, clean, and lengthy finish.

Sommelier comment This sake is very round and smooth on the palate. It is very approachable, yet it has some unique flavors like sweet nugat and green tea with a pleasant neuance and mouthfeel of honey-cured bacon fat. All of these facets come together seemlesly and create what can only be described as umami.
Enjoy as a cocktail, but be astounded when this sake is paired with a hearty, white sauce Italian dish.
