Stop the presses! This is one of those sakes that every serious sake drinker at some point must try. Dare we say it has Juyondai similarities in weight, viscosity, and glucose of this brew? Smooth, juicy, velvety, and round there is a very inquisitive fleshy component that is balanced out perfectly by an uptick acidity that lifts the flavors. Look for a vast array of flavors from pear, apple, and strawberry to mango, papaya, watermelon, rock sugar with a sneaky mint and umami play and a quick mineral finish. This is professional sake!

We love sake breweries that honor and celebrate their master brewer “Toji.” And so when Zaku told their Toji Tomohiro Uchiyama to pick a tank that he likes he picked this brew and they called it Selection N. Smooth, round, gentle, with a little spritz, this Daiginjo drinks with a light and slippery glide through the palate. Consider it almost rich-light and look for layers of soft flavors like papaya, ripe melon, vanilla, rock sugar, pineapple, and pear juice that don’t drink bulky but rather slippery and juicy. The masterpiece part of this selection is that amongst gentle fruit tones like Mandarin orange you get a very nice umami play that ends with a quick and dry finish. Best served chilled in a white wine glass. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWORD:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWINE:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGentle Reds\/Fruity Whites \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEER:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Light Ales \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFOODS:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcellent by itself, very gentle fare like sashimi, poached white fish, tofu, and fruit plates.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"SKURNIK","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43839451300083,"sku":"DG257-02","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/files\/DG257-02_ZakuJunmaiDaiginjoGenshuSelectionN_750ml_WM.png?v=1690239846"},{"product_id":"zaku-junmai-ginjo-miyabi-no-tomo","title":"Zaku Junmai Ginjo \"Miyabi no Tomo\"","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"im\"\u003eThe nose on this well-built brew is a slick collection of honeydew, pear, cherry candy, Muscat, sweet bread, lime, and mineral water aromas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis brewery is known for their rounded-bottom brewing tanks, 750ml \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"im\"\u003ebottles, and their regimented tasted schedule in the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ekura\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith their \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebrewing team.
