Tasting Note
Jikon "Aiyama" Junmai Ginjo Hiire is an elegant, pasteurized sake brewed with the distinctive Aiyama rice. It presents a refined aroma of ripe pear, melon, and apple, with subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is smooth and medium to full-bodied, offering a rich, creamy umami core reminiscent of fresh mochi, balanced by soft acidity. The pasteurization contributes to a round, integrated texture. The finish is clean, persistent, and slightly dry, ending with a pleasant nutty-savory nuance. This sake masterfully combines the Aiyama rice's robust flavor with a polished Ginjo structure, making it a sophisticated choice for pairing with grilled fish, poultry, or umami-rich vegetables.
