Miyakomeguri Ginjo Kyo-roman
みやこめぐり ぎんじょう きょうろまん ／ Miyakomeguri Ginjo Kyo-roman
Ginjo
This is a reproduction of Japan's first sake bottle that came with a cup. The label has an illustration of Kyoto, a well-known tourist destination. The brewery adeptly polishes high quality sake rice and ferments it at a low temperature over a long time. It also uses mochi rice during Fushimi district's traditional four-stage mashing process to develop a ginjo-shu with deep, rich sweetness and a smooth texture.

Food pairing
Kyo-roman's rich, deep sweetness and smooth texture pair well with fruit. It also makes a great companion with bold-flavored Japanese dishes like saikyo miso-marinated grilled Spanish mackerel, grilled eel with the tare sauce, and simmered fish. It also matches well with cuisines across the world, like marinated sardines, bouillabaisse, stir-fried shrimp with chili sauce, and roast beef.
