This is a slightly cloudy junmai ginjo, with a strong rice flavor and aroma. A little bit of cloudiness (created by coarse filtration) allows one to enjoy the strong rice flavor, which is balanced out by the crisp aftertaste.
It uses original sake rice from Gifu prefecture and is made to have a fragrant aroma and a smooth, moderately dry flavor.
The spirit of the Doburoku Festival held at Shirakawa-go (UNESCO's world heritage site) resides in this sake.

Use a sake cup with straight sides to enjoy the light and clean sake.
It pairs well with grilled fish (salmon, trout, especially well with sakekasu-fermented fish), beef or pork yakiniku (Japanese BBQ), chicken wings, charcoal-grilled local chicken, sauteed mushrooms, sushi rolls like California rolls, and desserts including macarons.
It makes a great companion for a wide variety of dishes.
