A silky sake with an unusual sweetness. The nose is rather light, with hints of white peach and ripe melon. Its softness is enveloping, from nose to mouth. A little acidity and a light bitterness balances nicely its sweetness. Finish is long and thirst-quenching.
Sweet, light, fruity, a sake with a unique style, very pleasant as an aperitif.

About the brewery : Ryujin was founded in the 15th century, when a warlord from this province discovered a water source ideal for making sake. Ryujin's soft underground water allows brewers to bring out the subtle flavours of their rice. The brewery's aim has remained the same throughout the ages: to produce a tasty, smooth, high-quality sake.
Detailed tasting notes : Characterized by low acidity, Ryujin Kakushi Ginjo Nama Genshu is a silky, smooth sake, revealing a fruity profile with nuances of white peach and melon. On the palate, its full-bodied, creamy texture highlights a beautiful bitterness, elegantly harmonizing with sweetness, to fade delicately into a lingering finish.
Serving suggestions : To be enjoyed well chilled, this sake lends itself to any occasion and is a perfect match for fish dishes, vegetables and fried mushrooms. It also goes well with veal dishes.
