Product details
Denshin Yuki Junmai Ginjo is the signature sake of the Denshin series, crafted by Ippongi Kubohonten, a brewery founded in 1902 in Fukui Prefecture. The name “Yuki,” meaning snow, honors the crystal-clear meltwater drawn from Mount Haku, whose purity defines both the brewing process and the elegant clarity of the sake itself. Made with carefully polished rice to a 55% ratio and fermented at low temperatures, this Junmai Ginjo expresses the brewery’s commitment to transparent, refined flavor. From its beautifully minimalist label to the quiet precision in each bottle, Yuki embodies the serene spirit of Fukui’s snowy landscapes.
On the nose, the first impression is a delicate hint of cherry, followed by soft and sweet aromas evocative of vanilla and cotton candy. The palate is supple and pure, with layered flavors that feel clean and translucent, culminating in a gently lingering finish. Yuki’s sophisticated sweetness pairs beautifully with bright citric acidity—grilled fish seasoned with salt and lemon, fresh oysters with a squeeze of lemon juice, or mackerel garnished with sudachi. Steamed prawns with lime and delicate salads dressed with citrus vinaigrette also complement its refreshing character. Serve well chilled to highlight its crisp finesse or slightly warmed to reveal a more rounded texture and depth.
