Amabuki Junmai Ginjo “Ichigo” Saké
Amabuki Shuzo has been producing saké in the shadow of Mount Amabuki for over 300 years. Junmai Ginjo is made with rice that is polished to at least 60% of its original size and has a delicate, light flavor. The word “Junmai” means “Pure Rice” and is the second classification of premium sake, with Junmai Daiginjo being the top classification.
Strawberry flower saké yeast (in lieu of the common commerical yeast used to make most saké) is used to give this a uniquely complex and layered fruitiness that is reminiscent of fresh wild strawberries and the plush forest that grows beside them. The nose on this unpasteurized saké is a collection of strawberry, pear, honey and floral aromas.
Junmai Ginjo is best served chilled and pairs well with sushi and clean, balanced cuisines.
