Product details
Kawatsuru Olive Junmai Ginjo is a distinctive expression from Kagawa Prefecture that highlights a uniquely local ingredient: yeast derived from Sanuki olives native to the region. Created to showcase the character and natural identity of Kagawa, this carefully crafted release brings together regional rice culture and locally sourced yeast in a remarkably individual expression. Its connection to the Sanuki olive gives Kawatsuru Olive Junmai Ginjo a strong sense of place and makes it an intriguing choice for those exploring the diverse regional styles of Japan.
The profile opens with juicy musk melon, green pear, and delicate white flower notes, followed by hints of starfruit, fresh grassy nuances, and a subtle saline character. The overall impression is bright and expressive, with fruit-forward character balanced by a clean, refreshing finish. Enjoy alongside a salad with carrot and ginger dressing, coconut crab curry, or spring pea and mint gazpacho.
