Ginjo
Ginjo is a high-quality category of sake characterized by its refined and complex flavors. To be classified as Ginjo, sake must be brewed using rice that has been polished to at least 40% of its original size, removing the outer layers of the rice grain to enhance purity and smoothness. This careful polishing process helps produce a sake with a delicate, fruity aroma and a clean, elegant taste.
Ginjo sake is known for its aromatic profile, which often includes notes of floral, fruity, and sometimes spicy flavors. The brewing process involves the use of highly skilled techniques and high-quality ingredients, including specialized yeast and koji mold, which contribute to the sake's nuanced character.
Among the well-regarded brands producing Ginjo sake are Dassai, known for its refined, fruity flavor profiles, and Gekkeikan, which offers a range of Ginjo sakes with balanced and aromatic qualities. Ginjo sake is typically enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, making it an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of Japanese dishes or savoring on its own.
