Kinshimasamune Junmai Ginjo

Description

Grafted with 100% Kyoto-grown Iwai rice polished to 55% and slow-fermented by hand using the pure waters of Fushimi. This gold medalist from the 2020 Feminalise World Wine Competition and Kura Master awards (2020 & 2021) captures the essence of Kyoto’s refined subtlety at a more accessible level than their Daiginjos. The nose offers a creamy, gentle ginjo aroma—think soft white flowers, ripe melon, and a whisper of pear—inviting without overwhelming. On the palate, it’s refreshingly crisp with a clean, sharp sweetness that cuts through beautifully, balanced by subtle rice umami and a bright, lingering acidity. Light-bodied and harmonious, with just enough structure to feel substantial, it finishes silky and dry, leaving no heaviness behind.Chilled, it’s a versatile delight for casual sipping or pairing with Kyoto classics like kaiseki, grilled fish, or fresh salads—elegant yet unpretentious, the kind of sake that makes every meal a little more special.
