Aizumusume "Jo" Junmai Ginjo Tsuchiya Kamenoo
The "Jo(穣)" series centers around the concept of "Ichi-Den-Ichi-Jo (一田一醸)", meaning "Junmai Ginjo sake brewed from rice harvested from a single paddy field." This series releases sake by paddy field and by season.
This sake is crafted using naturally cultivated "Kamenoo" rice grown by Tsuchiya Farm, a producer engaged in sustainable farming at the foot of Mt. Aizu Bandai.
The aroma is very gentle, with a hint of fresh grass and a faint trace of sweetness.
On the palate, a subtle effervescence greets you, offering a refined juiciness with fresh nuances. It features a smooth, layered sweetness and a rich umami from the rice. The balanced interplay of pleasant acidity and a mild bitterness enhances the overall harmony. Toward the finish, a delicate sweetness reminiscent of wasanbon sugar lingers, allowing you to bask in the elegant aftertaste.
Letting it sit for a moment after pouring brings out even more depth and fullness in flavor. Take your time to savor this exquisite sake.
