Try this in a wine glass and it will encase you in the aromatic elegance of white flowers, and coat your tongue with a soft, luxurious, velvety texture. Despite its expression of quintessential sake from Kyoto, it is to be enjoyed internationally with a variety of food pairings. The brand “Yanagi” revived from centuries ago is expressed with the famed Onono Tofu’s calligraphy from 800 years ago.

Yanagi is a very light Ginjo filled with flavors like dry pear, cucumber while hiding a deep sweetness that is so subtle, it is more of an expression than a flavor. Hints of vanilla, muscat and citrus. Food pairing with fish, cheese and squid.
