Hakutsuru White Crane Junmai Ginjo "Superior"

This Ginjo has a nose of soft ripe strawberries and grass. It has a very mild and dry start that develops into a more fruity finish. A perfect beginner’s example of a “light-and-smooth” type sake with a suppressed sweetness. Old school sake drinkers appreciate the rolling acidity play that rounds off this light Ginjo. As the "White Crane" warms in your mouth, one can find hints of ripe fruit and a balanced dryness that goes well with food pairings. WORD: Clean WINE: Sauvignon Blancs/Dry Reds BEER: Ales/Ambers FOODS: Steamed crab, sautéed filet of sole, soba noodles.
