Product details
Jozen Snow Shinmai Shinshu Junmai Ginjo is a seasonal release from the Jozen brand, made exclusively with newly harvested rice from Niigata Prefecture. Often compared to Japan’s seasonal nouveau-style releases, this expression captures the character of the year’s fresh rice through careful fermentation management. Presented as a freshly pressed, unheated release, Jozen Snow Shinmai Shinshu highlights the lively and immediate character associated with newly harvested rice. The “new” theme extends from the rice to the freshly pressed seasonal style, making this Junmai Ginjo a distinctive choice for seasonal celebrations and for exploring the annual character of Niigata-grown rice.
The profile is marked by a vivid, expressive aroma and a powerful, fresh character, reflecting its freshly pressed and unheated style. Its lively impression is supported by the natural character of newly harvested rice, delivering a direct and energetic palate with a sense of seasonal freshness. It complements nikudofu, simmered sea bream, soy-butter sautéed king oyster mushrooms and nagaimo, olive-oil breadcrumb salmon, French-style salads, and hatahata shottsuru hot pot.
