Momokawa Junmai Ginjo Craft Sake 250ml Can
For those of you heading off to enjoy cabins, boats, and campgrounds, yet looking for beverages that are more portable and conveniently packaged than glass bottles, your selection just expanded to sake! Momokawa, America’s premier sake brand made in the lush Pacific Northwest, offers their Junmai Ginjo sake in a 250ml can. The quality of the few ingredients used to make sake are of the utmost importance and Oregon’s east slope of the coastal range in Forest Grove, contains natural aquifers which filter 120 inches of rain each year through rich organic sediment, igneous rock, and basaltic sandstone. The purified water is exceptionally low in iron and manganese, perfect for making sake. Along with great water, the grain used is as important. Calirornia grown Calrose rice, which is derived from Japanese sake rice, produces sake with full body and generous viscosity. This sake has aromatics and flavors that are bright and fresh, with notes of summer melon, green apple, spicy green herb, and delicate citrus. While the packaging makes this an easy choice for al fresco dining around picnic tables and campfires, its quality is worthy of a meal served on your best dishware.
