Urakasumi Zenyo Junmai Ginjo

Urakasumi Zenyo Junmai Ginjo is produced by Saura Co. in Miyagi Prefecture from Yamada Nishiki milled to 50%, exceeding the 60% requirement of the Junmai Ginjo grade. Moderate fruity and floral notes sit above a subtle rice character, with an acidity of 1.3 and an amino-acid level of 1.15. A Sake Meter Value of +2 at 15.5% alcohol gives a clean, balanced, near-dry finish. Zenyo represents a more refined, aromatic step up from the brewery's standard Junmai.

Zenyo (Zen Ocean) is Urakasumi's flagship premium expression, combining the meditative calm of Zen with the expansiveness of the Pacific Ocean visible from the brewery. Yamada Nishiki polished to 50% and fermented with careful Nanbu Toji technique yields a refined, balanced sake with gentle melon and pear aromatics, clean umami, and a smooth, medium-length finish.
