The nose is full of vanilla and melon. The first sip shines of a well-built Ginjo. The sake has a smooth start and an equally smooth finish, with a middle made up of melon and citrus undertones. It is very well balanced and literally slides on the tongue. The viscosity spells a fruity type flavor, but the taste is refreshingly dry. In sailing terms, this Ginjo is even-keeled and the proof is in the easy and refreshing nature of each sip. Very user friendly for Ginjo lovers. \u003cstrong\u003eWORD\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cantaloupe \u003cstrong\u003eWINE\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGewurztraminer\u003c\/span\u003e\/Sauvignon Blanc \u003cstrong\u003eBEER\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hefeweizen\/Honey Ales \u003cstrong\u003eFOODS\u003c\/strong\u003e: Omelets, fish mousses, oysters with vinaigrette, fried scampi.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JPSA","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":363828713,"sku":"JG01-03","price":25.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7601\/products\/JG01-03_MeiboYowanoTsukiJunmaiGinjo_MidnightMoon__500ml_1365x2048_WM.jpg?v=1603932358"},{"product_id":"kamoshibito-kuheiji-junmai-daiginjo-eau-du-desir","title":"Kamoshibito Kuheiji Junmai Daiginjo “Eau Du Désir”","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew 2024 Vintage!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThank your lucky stars sake drinkers, because Kuheiji is back in the US market. The nose on this “old school\/new school” brew is a very interesting collection of strawberry, apple, sweet rice, blueberry, mineral, and banana bread aromas. Wait wha? \"Old school\/new school?\" First, this incredibly well-known brewery was founded in 1647, and second, it was crafty enough to start making sake in a unique way that created an almost effervescent type of drinking experience. They became a cult–like brewery held in the highest regards of sake making. They also stress a domain-style of sake making similar to the wine world. In a word, Kuheiji is trendsetting sake that is not to be missed. Spritzy, lively, and zesty, this brew drinks with upfront flavor, impact and has a controlled outstanding finish. Clean and crisp, juicy and imaginative, balanced and controlled. This sake has an amazing flavor field of berries, apple, sweet bread, melon, oatmeal, rock sugar, and apple pie tones. Kuheiji is such a lovely drinking experience, because it is round and balanced. This highlights the third major component in sake making - great rice, great water, and great balance. There are a lot of copycat breweries out there these days making sake similar to Kuheiji. But what is missing in their efforts can be found in this \u003cem\u003eJunmai Daiginjo\u003c\/em\u003e - impeccable balance.

There is weight to the fluid that is elevated with an acidity that walks through the palate, a nice umami play, and complexity that appeals to big white wine drinkers.
