This was the second time we participated in a Campfire crowdfunding campaign, and we are glad we did! The Makkō Junmai Ginjō Genshu is a communal sake project that uses rice planted in the Fushimi Ward of Kyoto. It was the excellent craftsmanship of Saitō Brewery (also located in Fushimi) that created this wonderful Junmai Ginjō. It has a splendid nose of fruits (sweet cantaloupe) and chablis-like aromas (sorry again for this sacrilege). It is sweet on the palate, has a medium-rich body, and creamy texture, with a tiny bit of refreshing acidity. Mild sweetish finish with notes of alcohol. Terrific. We are now looking forward to the nama version.
