Fukucho "Moon on the Water" Junmai Ginjo Sake (BTL 720ml)
This bottle is a Sake Gumi selection!
This junmai ginjo has a heavenly fragrance of sweet pineapples. Although this sake starts elegant and tropical, it delivers a long, bold finish full of pepper and spice. Brewer Miho Imada calls this her elegant sake with a silky texture.
Try this champagne-hued sake chilled with aged, hard cheeses like Gruyère and Parmigiano Reggiano or minerally seafoods like crawfish and scallops.

Imada Shuzo is a brewery from Hiroshima that started in 1868. Miho Imada is the toji (head brewmaster), who saw a chance to take over the brewing responsibilities when the last toji retired in 2000. She makes sure that everyone on her team has an essential role in the brewing process, and creates sakes that reflect the terroir of Akitsu, the village in Hiroshima where the brewery is located, by using local water and indigenous strains of rice.
