Kudoki Jozu Junmai Ginjo presents a captivating bouquet of green apple and floral aromas. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of light, soft, and delicate flavors, featuring notes of pear, apple, and purple plum. The sake's balanced acidity enhances its smoothness, making it both plump and complex. This versatile sake pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes, including grilled chicken, broiled white fish, white fish sashimi with salt, and radish salad, complementing both light and medium-flavored cuisines.
