Sho Chiku Bai Premium Ginjo Sake

From time to time, I get in the mood for some sake.  In general, it has a dry, apple/pear flavor to it.  I think that the quality is in the aftertaste, or I should say, the lack of an aftertaste.

Web Stuff:  Ginjo is a special reserve connoisseur class of sake. Most sakes are brewed with rice that has been milled 30%. For our Ginjo we use rice that is polished over 50%. Additionally, we use a special strain of yeast that allows for fermentation at a cooler temperature. The result of the slower, longer process is a silky-smooth, rich and fruity flavor.  This one is really nice.
