Jōzen Josui Junmai Ginjō (新米新酒の上善如水 純米吟醸) is made of rice grown in Niigata and milled to 55% and Association No. 1801 yeast. This unpasteurised "sake nouveau" was made from rice harvested last autumn. Freshly squeezed, this Niigata sake has a vivid aroma and robust flavour that can only be achieved with unpasteurised sake. It exhibits a crisp, lean, and dry profile characterised by an initial, familiar clarity. This swiftly gives way to a juicy richness underscored by a profound umami character. It proves to be an exceptional accompaniment to dishes featuring hearty seafood and vegetables.
