Shimizu Iwaonoizumi Junmai Ginjō

With its golden hue, Shimizu's Iwaono Izumi Junmai Ginjō has a creamy texture that glides across the palate, leaving a gentle and well-rounded impression. The mouthfeel is harmonious, striking a delicate balance between unobtrusive sweetness and a subtle undercurrent of acidity. It lingers on the tongue, neither too dry nor overly sweet—medium dry in character. It concludes with a short and mellow finish. We paired it with a traditional Japanese meal—miso soup, baked salmon, and genmai rice—and this sake finds its perfect companion in Japanese dishes. Each sip enhances the flavours of the dish, elevating the dining experience. As the sake warms to room temperature, it reveals hidden layers of aromata with herbal notes emerging.
