AKABU JUNMAIGINJO 赤武 純米吟醸 火入れ 720ml
Brewed by Akabu Shuzo (赤武酒造) in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, Akabu Junmai Ginjo Hiire (赤武 純米吟醸 火入れ) captures the youthful passion and precision of one of Japan’s most exciting new-generation breweries.
Made with locally grown Iwate sake rice polished to 50%, this sake expresses bright aromas of melon, green apple, and white flowers. The palate is silky and refined, with gentle sweetness balanced by clean acidity and a crisp, refreshing finish. Pasteurised once (hiire) to stabilise flavour while retaining vivid freshness, it embodies the best of both classic and contemporary sake styles.
