Sharaku Junmai Ginjo

The nose on this beautiful JG is a very clean collection of green apple, daikon, fresh ginger, apple pie, lemon cake, violet, sugar snap peas, blueberry, and tonic water aromas. Yes! It’s true, we now have the legendary Sharaku in the store. One of the most popular brands in Japan for good reason, it is leading the charge of the modern sake movement in Fukushima prefecture, which can be said is leading the modern sake movement in Japan. Light, clean, gentle, supple, light spritz, medium body, bright, and a touch slippery, there are elegant almost invisible bubbles on the sides of your glass. Look for young pear, persimmon, nectarine, young melon and other astringent wine-lover flavors like agave nectar, bitter melon, parsley, green apple, green papaya, lemon and simple syrup. There is a plump acidity that produces all sorts of echo flavors as the fluid warms in the glass. Excellent sake from a legendary brewery.
