Junmai ginjo (純米吟醸)
Oita
Created at Fujii Shuzo in Usuki, Japan, this is Safu Sake's junmai ginjo varietal and is made from the finest sake rice, Yamada Nishiki, milled to 60%, water from the Ono River, and brewed with 1801 yeast to deliver a sake that is light, elegant, crisp, balanced, easy on the palate, gloriously full of flavor, and rich with aroma. Flavors of banana, tropical fruit, and mild floral hints make this a pleasing favorite at tastings. Mouthfeel is lighter than Safu's junmai daiginjo but still finishes very clean and with minimal aftertaste.
