Ichinokura Junmai Sake

Ichinokura translates to "One Brewery". The brewery was formed in 1973 when four breweries merged: Asami, Katsuki, Sakurai, and Matsumoto. The Ichinokura logo is made up of four linked bars to symbolize the four founding families. 'Tokubetsu Junmai' is a style of sake characterized by the easy drinking feel of a junmai sake, with the more refined ginjo-grade rice polishing ratio. That makes this sake immensely versatile in flavor profiles and also in appropriate service temperatures. Chilled, it has a well-balanced umami with a crisp, sharp aftertaste; at room temperature, it offers a hearty rice forward flavor and aroma; when warm, there is a rich yellow apple like acidity and sweetness.
