Product details
Edo Junmai Ginjo Sake Oji, also known as Kinkon Junmai-Ginjo “Edo Sake Oji,” is a distinguished creation from Toshimaya Corporation, Tokyo’s oldest sake brewery, founded in 1596. This sake is crafted entirely in Tokyo using locally grown Kinuhikari rice polished to 60% and fermented with the rare Edo yeast. The result is a beautifully balanced brew that expresses the authentic terroir and heritage of the region. With its moderate 13% ABV, bright acidity, and award-winning profile—having earned the Platinum Award at Paris’s Kura Master competition—Edo Sake Oji bridges traditional sake craftsmanship and modern elegance.
On the nose, it offers a refreshing citrus bouquet of lemon, navel orange, and orange, layered with subtle hints of caramel and sweet potato that lend depth and softness. The palate is vivid and smooth, unfolding flavors reminiscent of honey lemon, ripe plum, and delicate fruity notes, perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy. This versatile sake shows beautifully when chilled, room temperature, or gently warmed. For food pairing, Edo Sake Oji complements clean, precise dishes such as sashimi, sushi, and crisp tempura, where its vibrant acidity and nuanced sweetness can lift flavors and refresh the palate between bites.
