Kirinzan Brewery Junmai Ginjo Sake 720 ML

This creamy, viscous sake is bursting with pineapple, cherries, and lemon. For a ginjo, the nose is generously floral. Like cherry blossom season in Japan, this sake has flair and greatly pleases all the senses.\n \n Distillery Information\n Kirinzan began not as a brewery at all, but as a charcoal manufacturing business fueled by the many beech trees in the region in the early 1800's. Kichihei Saito, the second generation of the owner family, soon made history by changing their focus to sake. The brand name of this original sake was "Well of Happiness" - in homage to the abundance of soft water, filtered by fertile soil, stored in its well and seen as a blessing. In 1882, Tokukichi Saito, the third generation of the founding family, changed their brand name to Kirinzan.
