Kikusui Junmai Ginjo
3.5
Derek C
Good drinking sake pairs well with fatty fish or grilled meat. Citrus nose with astringent mouthfeel. Relatively long finish with rice and light milky aftertaste. Best balance when it’s slightly below room temperature.

4.8Unpasteurized sake gives a subtle hint of complexity. Body is sweet and smooth, and a clean finish. All time favorite. Easily comparable to other higher priced sake.

4.5Great offering from the Suigei. Much better than the junmai. Very drinkable at a great price point. Goes great with heavier food pairing. This sake is well balanced, offer something for everyone.
