Watari Bune “Junmai Ginjo 55”
Ibaraki prefecture
$55.00
Bursting with brilliance
One of the few brews made with Wataribune rice, this sake shows that age isn’t always a bad thing. The rice used is the predecessor to the now famous Yamadanishiki rice, and we have to say, it rivals the newer rice for its sake-crafting qualities. This brew has a hefty aroma that practically jumps out of the bottle. Funky, fun flavors are finished off with a zippy acidity. Enjoy Watari Bune Junmai Ginjo on its own or with your favorite dishes to appreciate its craftsmanship and range.
