Sumiyama Junmai Ginjo Sake

39,90 € TTC
Fruity, light, and very refreshing sake! It is very pleasant on the nose, with notes of melon, anise, and orange zest. The initial taste is surprising, with a hint of effervescence. The palate is pleasantly fruity (strawberry, melon, pineapple), enhanced by a light, refreshing acidity and cereal notes. This is a 100% local sake, produced with a Saga rice variety ("Saga-no-hana") grown right next to the brewery. It will delight both connoisseurs and novices.

About the Producer

What We Love

The small Koimari sake brewery was founded in 1909 by the Maeda family, who have been running the business for 11 generations now. As its name suggests, the brewery is located in the city of Imari, a port city in Western Japan famous for its colorful porcelains, highly prized in Europe since the 18th century.

Koimari strives for the best in crafting its sakes, which is why all ingredients used in its production are entirely local. The brewery also emphasizes manual labor, processing rice in small batches. This requires more time and labor but also allows for better control over the production process and reduces damage to the rice. Furthermore, the brewery makes efforts to ensure the well-being of its employees, a rare occurrence in a profession known for being demanding and exhausting.
