Manotsuru Junmai Ginjo
Obata Shuzo is located on Sado Island in Niigata. Starting with pure, high quality groundwater, and world-famous rice, Sado Island has become known as an excellent place to produce sake. Since Manotsuru's founder Yososaku Obata had estblished OBATA SHUZO in 1885, we have been using the traditional hand-made methods for more than a hundred years, with great appreciation for the abundant nature that surrounds us on Sado.
Tasting Notes: The nose on this sake is juicy fruits of water melon, grapes and pear, mild silky taste like snowfall with gentle sweetness. This is a middle-bodied sake that is smooth and has a hint of heat in the finish. Best served chilled by wide glass but also OK at room temp.
