Tasting Notes
Rich & silky texture with hints of peach & vanilla notes. Enjoy chilled like a fine white wine. TYKU Junmai Ginjo Sake is crafted from a special blend of Yamada Nishiki & Akebono sake rice that is polished so only 55% of the grain remains, a process which removes impurities and refines taste. The Junmai Ginjo classification represents the top 6% of all sake in the world. Winner of the Gold Medal at the S.F. Int'l Wine Competition and the Gold Medal at the N.Y. World Wine & Spirits Competition.
