Bushido, Way of the Warrior, Ginjo Genshu

180 mL
Item # 22469

Brewed with Gohyakuman Goku rice at the Kizakura Shuzo Brewery. Bushido is the ancient Japanese warrior code of moral values, loyalty and honor until death. Usually unuttered and unwritten, the code allows the violent existence of the samurai to be tempered by wisdom and serenity. The sake has flavors of tart raspberry, Asian pear, and watermelon rind with a hint of white flowers and a strong finish. Genshu is undiliuted and this little can packs a punch.

Staff Pick Notes

The Way of the Warrior, AKA the moral code of Japanese samurais, AKA "Bushido!" There are 8 values of Bushido, usually unspoken and unwritten, to guide warriors through life based on wisdom, honor, and loyalty until death. Quite a big ask for a little can, but this Ginjo Genshu premium sake delivers! Less than 6% of Japan's sake receives the Ginjo classification of rice polished to a minimum of 60%. Bushido takes this quality even further because it is also Genshu, meaning undiluted - think cask strength. This honorable can from Kyoto is clean and refreshing, with flavors of white raspberry, melon, and a hint of warm spices. It is well balanced just like the values of the samurai code and delicious!
