SAKE SWEETNESS
DESCRIPTION
The Shosei has a mild taste from rice and the Ginjo fragrance of the well-matched, delicate and sweet “Akita Sesame Yeast”. It is a beautiful expression of a sake that is light and smooth.
SOMMELIER'S NOTES
This is one of the first Ginjo-style sakes ever made! Since it is polished to 50%, it can technically be considered a Junmai Daiginjo.

SingaporeFantastic Sake Discovery
Again a nice surprise from the monthly discovery box. This sake is easily at the level of a junmai daiginjo for such a reasonable price. Finished the bottle during a seafood lunch, no headache or not feeling tired. Pairing well with seafood and even on its own.
