Fukucho Moon On The Water Junmai Ginjo 720 ML

A fruity nose of lime and melon with bold hints of fennel white pepper and allspice. The flavors gravitate to ripe cantaloupe and anise while the minerality from the soft water is evident in the finish.\n \n Distillery Information\n The town of Akitsu, where Fukucho sake is born, is a port on the quiet Seto Inland Sea with a view of the Seto’s many islands stretching out to the horizon. It has been a sake brewing center for centuries, with the many rice storehouses of the Edo period (1603-1868) Hiroshima lords serving local breweries. Imada Shuzo Honten sake brewery stands just next to Mitsu bay, where fishing boats plying the inland sea unload fresh bream, octopus, mackerel, and other seafood all year round. This area is famed for some of the Seto's cleanest waters, making it an ideal oyster producer, as well. The mild climate and gentle, bountiful seas of Akitsu have been at the heart of the flavor that Fukucho sake brings.
