Isojiman Junmai Ginjo "Pride of the Seashore"
The nose on this Junmai Ginjo from the legendary Isojiman Brewery is a tantalizing nose filled with grapefruit, apricot, pear, tropical fruits, cereal, peach, nectarine, and ocean foam aromas. Built to pair with seafood, this killer brew is a different kind of Junmai Ginjo that isn’t all fruity and aromatic. Rather it is smooth, round, semi-rich, soft, and extremely drinkable. A staff favorite sake that dances "the umami dance" with a quick finish that appeals to both the dry and “doesn’t have to be dry" crowd. This is a performance brew that shows how well a balanced sake can drink. Look for jam, nectarine, persimmon, honeydew, sugar, nougat, young pear, peach, caramel, and mineral flavors that drink with a salinity that is so appealing and unique. This “Pride of the Seashore” is not to be missed! WORD: Balanced WINE: Dry Reds/Flinty Whites BEER: Belgian Ales FOODS: Anything from the ocean in any form.
