Product details
Gasanryu Special Junmai Ginjo Rokka Crystal Flower is a refined creation from Shindo Shuzo, crafted in Yamagata using locally developed Dewa no Sato rice known for its elegant and approachable character. This special Junmai Ginjo is made with an original house yeast derived from the historic Association No. 7 lineage, a strain celebrated for its balanced fermentation and gentle aromatic profile since the mid-20th century. Combining traditional inspiration with modern craftsmanship, Gasanryu Rokka Crystal Flower delivers a nostalgic yet contemporary expression featuring freshness, clarity, and vibrant rice character. As an unfined and single-pasteurized release, it preserves lively texture and vivid flavor while maintaining a polished, harmonious structure.
The aroma opens with restrained yet elegant fruit notes reminiscent of ripe banana, delicate orchard fruit, and soft floral nuances. On the palate, fresh rice-driven umami unfolds alongside smooth texture, balanced acidity, and subtle sweetness, creating a profile that feels both vibrant and comforting. Its clean, lively finish carries lingering freshness and refined depth, making it especially enjoyable alongside hot pot dishes, grilled meats, and savory Japanese cuisine. Graceful and approachable, Gasanryu Special Junmai Ginjo Rokka Crystal Flower offers a beautifully balanced tasting experience that blends tradition, freshness, and modern elegance.
