Sake “Megumi no tomo” Junmai Ginjo

Description

A fruity sake (ginjo) made from pure rice (junmai) from the famous Zaku brand of the Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten brewery. A modern but not exuberant sake with a deep taste of white fruits. Generous and invigorating, ideal as an aperitif or with a sophisticated meal. We like it very much. The sister cuvée of another no less remarkable one: Gen no Tomo.

Storing:

This sake should be stored in a cool place, between 2 and 5°C. As with any sake, we recommend keeping it away from light. For longer storage, it’s best to store the bottle upright in a dark place. Laying the bottle down brings the sake into contact with the cork, which can be damaging.

Sake Ingredients:

Water, rice, koji rice.

Shelf life:

Before opening and under the right conditions (those described above), this sake can be kept for years. After opening, it’s a matter of taste: the “classic” shelf life is about ten days in the refrigerator, but some aficionados let their bottles mature in the refrigerator for three to four weeks, or even longer. It all depends on your taste in oxidized sake.

Serve chilled:

We recommend serving this sake chilled, between 8 and 10°C. A wine glass will allow you to appreciate its bouquet better, but a sake cup will reveal more of its texture. Don’t worry, it’s excellent either way.

Alcohol abuse is dangerous to your health and should be consumed in moderation.
