Kirin-Zan Junmai Daiginjo Sake Magnum

Elegant, refined, citrusy on the palate. Reminiscent of a clean mountain stream.

Kirinzan Shuzo is located near Mt. Kirin (= Kirin-zan) in Tsugawa where beautiful rivers run through. Kirin, a mythical creature much like a flying unicorn, is believed to bring about happiness.  The producer won gold medals at Japan National Sake Competition in 2016, 2014, 2012, 2009,  etc.

Tasting Notes:  Reticent, elegant, refined, citrusy. Floral, yet earthy aroma laced with cedar and cider with a hint of smoke. Medium to light bodied. Dry, intense, and balanced; soft creamy texture with a round finish of concentrated  Bosc pears. Reminiscent of a clean mountain stream.

Serving temp. : Serve chilled (50-59°F or 10-15°C).
