Katafune Junmai Ginjo Genshu "13"

The nose on this new world Junmai Ginjo is a stellar collection of Clementine, Sprite, plum, cinnamon, golden raisin, Sherry, fig, orange creamsicle, and sea salt aromas. Say hello to a market-defining sake from one of the most awarded sake breweries in Niigata. This “undiluted” sake which means there was no added extra water has a lower ABV at 13% than most sakes, but it still has all of that ricey, sweet body. Slippery, juicy, crisp, bright, sweet, silky, round, smooth, fleshy, and fruity, this brew drinks more like a cocktail than a sake and that is the point. Look for orange juice, peach, pomelo, lychee, honey, hibiscus, Tang, Asian pear, Bing cherry, pineapple, Lemonheads, and orange gum flavors that drink more like a Citrus Mai Tai or a Tequila Sunrise, but only has 13% ABV and is made of just rice and water. Clean, fruity fun for the new age sake fan. WORD: Fruity WINE: Sangria/Fruity Whites BEER: Fruity Ales FOODS: International sushi and spice, street fare. Beach tacos, cocktail cuisine, and fruit/cheese plates.
