Description of Product
In the Chubu region of Japan, Kaetsu Shuzo produces Kanbara's "Bride of the Fox" Junmai Ginjo inspired by Niigata's fascinating fox-bride festival and the mysterious lights that appear on nearby Mt. Kirin. This vegan, gluten-free sake (16.5% ABV) is crafted from Gohyakumangoku rice milled to an impressive 50% polishing rate—technically qualifying for Daiginjo classification, though its savory profile aligns with traditional Ginjo styles. The pristine water sources of this mountainous region contribute to its distinctive character, presenting intense aromas of grilled nuts and pistachio with subtle white chocolate undertones. The palate delivers ripe honeydew notes that finish with remarkable crispness and delicate lingering sweetness, making it an exceptional companion for rich meat dishes like duck or miso-glazed black cod.
