Jun is the left bottle

Tasting Comment

You feel the modester flavor of banana than Yuki, Tokubetsu-Honjozou-Shu. When you drop it in your mouth, the rich and sweet taste spreads. But it is also sharp and soft. Compared to that of Yuki, the taste of Jun is richer and purer. You don’t feel complexed tastes in it. This Japanese Sake is just pure. It is in a mainstream of Tanrei-Umakuchi (light, sharp and rich). You are able to enjoy this Japanese Sake in cold. If you make it warm, the richness will increase. This Japanese Sake will part with more dish.

Taste Chart

Fruity-Acid: 3/5 (1 is Fruity, 5 is Acid)

I recommend you should enjoy this Japanese Sake with fresh fish. The richness will part with both white and red fish.

If you would like to enjoy this Japanese Sake with Salmon, I recommend that you should enjoy it warm style.

The tips of this Ippon

This brewery was founded in Edo Era, 1819. They keep making effort to brew Japanese Sake whose taste is Tanrei-Umakuchi (light, sharp and rich). They are located in Niigata Prefecture, one of the most famous rice production areas in Japan. They used Gohyaku-Man-Goku, the rice brand born in Niigata Prefecture. Niigata Prefecture is also known as a snowy area. The snowy mountains produce good quality water, pure and delicate. It also includes a lot of minerals. They use the pristine underground water that flows from the Asahi mountain range via the Miomote River. This river is famous for its salmon run. So, you must enjoy this Japanese Sake with Salmon or Ikura(salmon caviar). The foods and this Japanese Sake are produced in the same area. They must part well. This is called, “Chiiki-Awase”.
