Chuyên sâu
Junmai ginjo has become one of the most popular premium categories both in Japan and internationally. Without added alcohol to amplify aromatics, the fruit and floral notes are slightly more subtle than non-junmai ginjo, but the palate is rounder and more textured. This style is extremely food-friendly, pairing beautifully with sashimi, tempura, and light grilled dishes. Many sommeliers consider junmai ginjo the most versatile sake grade for restaurant wine lists.
