{"title":"Soft Reds","description":"Hey there you soft, smooth, and round red wine drinkers! You are a lucky bunch, because there are a lot of sakes that speak to your wine sensibilities. These sakes are round and soft, they are often velvety and chewy like a nice Oregonian Pinot Noir. They have layers of smooth fruit tones but don’t drink fruity per se, and have a gentle easiness often referred to as coifable in your wine tongue. They do great chilled and room temperature and also can be warmed to bring out more smoothness and flavor. These sakes are also extremely food friendly and speak to the cuisines that like round, smooth, and balanced red wines such as a Merlot or Pinot Noir.","products":[{"product_id":"mizunoshirabe","title":"Mizunoshirabe Ginjo \"Sound of Water\"","description":"\u003cem\u003e\"Sound of Water\"\u003c\/em\u003e has a really superb nose filled with hints of peaches, grapes, and persimmons, with an undercurrent of minerals and green grasses.
