Amabuki Junmai Ginjo Ichigo Sake

From the innovative Amabuki Brewery in Saga Prefecture comes a sake that pushes the boundaries of traditional brewing while respecting its roots. The Amabuki Junmai Ginjo Ichigo Sake is not just any sake – it’s fermented using yeast derived from strawberries, specifically the 'Ichigo' variety. This unique approach adds a fresh twist to the Junmai Ginjo grade, intertwining the purity of the rice with delicate fruit nuances. TastingNotesNose: The aroma is enchanting and unmistakably fragrant. There's a delicate sweetness reminiscent of fresh strawberries, accompanied by soft floral notes and a hint of creamy rice. Palate: Taking a sip, the strawberry yeast's influence is evident but not overpowering. The palate is introduced to a subtle fruitiness – think strawberry-infused cream, but with the characteristic umami of sake. There's also a touch of melon and peach, giving it depth and complexity. The texture is smooth, with a gentle acidity that ensures a balanced taste. Finish: The finish
