Toko JG Genshu

For this Junmai Ginjo, TOKO selects the regional Dewano Sato rice variety from Yamagata, which gives this sake a good structure and full-bodied rice flavor. Typical dishes from the snowy Yonezawa region contain high umami, so TOKO likes to brew umami-rich sake. Aromas of ripe apples and tropical fruits, anise, orange, and dark chocolate. As a Genshu (undiluted) sake, it leaves a full-bodied impression of fruity sweetness on the palate, reminiscent of ripe apples. The structure is delicate and elegant, with a clean, fresh, and long finish. It also works well as a cocktail base.

The Producer

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
