Banshu Ikkon Description
Brewmaster Yuichi Tsubosaka makes chokara ("extremely dry") style sake unlike anyone else. While typically lean and austere, his Chokara Junmai Ginjo starts luscious and fruity, with a generous flavors of tropical fruit. It resolves to a beautifully spicy finish reminiscent of white pepper.
Pair with richer fare like tuna steaks, roasted chicken, or soy braised root vegetables. While an excellent match for richer foods, it is also delicate and compelling enough to enjoy on its own.
