ā€œThis sake's fruity nature is well-balanced by notes of yoghurt and a clean finish. A modern interpretation of the traditional ā€˜kimotoā€™ brewing method.ā€

 

Iwate Homare Junmai Ginjo is a crowd-pleaser, suitable for both sake novices and connoisseurs. With a fresh and fruity profile complemented by elevated acidity, it's particularly delightful when served chilled in a white wine glass.
