{"title":"Crisp Reds","description":"Okay you awesome crisp red wine drinkers who like so much feeling and flavors in your glass. These sakes speak to the adventure that you like whilst imbibing your crisp Shirazes, your tannin-laced Sauvignons or your crisp zesty Zinfandels. These sakes pop out of the glass with big acidity, big fruit (but not too sweet), and layers of attitude that speaks to those who like their wines to pair with international cuisines that have complexity and brightness. These sakes are attention getters and often do better at room temperature or warmed, but also do nicely chilled. Think zesty, crisp, bright, and eye popping attitudes with these sakes that are language unto themselves.","products":[{"product_id":"gasanryu-gokugetsu","title":"Gasanryu Gokugetsu Junmai Daiginjo \"Mountain Stream\"","description":"This single-pasteurized sake has a very sneaky nose filled with rose petals, purple grapes, and blueberry elements.

A light, sensible, and very approachable sake with good acidity. Clean, light, water-like, elegant, silky, medium-bodied, with a dry clean finish, this brew is a whisper Ginjo that is flavorful and joyous. Look for berries-and-cream, vanilla bean, mint, powdered sugar, young guava, stewed pears, melon, cucumber, green apple, and citrus rind flavors that dance and shimmer on a light flow that is refreshing and professional.
