Wakatake Junmai Ginjo Black Label (72cl)

Wakatake Junmai Ginjo Black Label is a Japanese sake from the Ohmuraya brewery in the town of Shimada, which sits on the Ohi River. The brewery's good-quality water is the reason it is the only one of the town's old breweries still working. Unlike most sake, which is matured in tank, this Ginjo is stored in bottle and pasteurised only once, so that its delicate aroma and flavour last longer. It can be served chilled or warm. The aroma is round, with steamed rice and chestnuts alongside fruity banana and melon. The sake is medium dry with a mild, soft texture and a savoury finish.
