Zaku Junmai Ginjo "Miyabi no Tomo" Ohmine And as the brewery owner

And as the brewery owner of Ippongi Kubo Honten said to me

so they bucked the trend and made sake using local Kyoto consumption rice

sashimi (Tuna)

there is a touch of astringency (shibumi) and some tannin-like dryness on the finish

and honeydew melon abound

Zaku Junmai Ginjo "Miyabi no Tomo" Ohmine And as the brewery ownerThe nose on this well built brew is a slick collection of honeydew, pear, cherry candy, Muscat, sweet bread, lime, and mineral water aromas. This brewery is known for their rounded bottom brewing tanks, 750ml bottles, and their regimented tasted schedule in the kura with their brewing team. This Ginjo fits in their lineup like a glove, and is smooth, silky, and clean with a quick umami finish. Its viscous and weighty, but drinks velvety and fleshy.
