PAIRINGCOMING SOON
Introducing Denshu, brewed to Junmai Ginjo specifications using Hyakuyonju (Hanaomoi), a sake-brewing rice born in Aomori Prefecture. It's released to match the four seasons, and this time it's the Momiji Label. A rich, sweet aroma like banana and a dense, milk-like richness are Denshu's identity. Within the Denshu line-up, the flavour is comparatively light, and a clear sweetness together with a soft umami gently warms the body.
