Product details
Mantensei Kinoko Junmai Ginjo is a limited-edition Japanese rice-crafted expression from Suwaizumi in Tottori Prefecture, inspired by Kuramoto Touda-san's passion for mushrooms and his self-described role as a fungi investigator. "Kinoko," meaning "mushroom" in Japanese, reflects the thoughtful concept behind this unique release, which is crafted using 100% locally grown rice and designed to complement dishes rich in savory, umami-driven flavors. Suwaizumi is known for its dedication to regional ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship, creating expressions that emphasize harmony at the table. This distinctive bottling showcases the producer's creative approach while remaining rooted in the traditions of Japanese rice craftsmanship.
On the palate, Mantensei Kinoko Junmai Ginjo offers aromas of cocoa and dried porcini, followed by notes of orange peel, mulling spice, and caramel. The finish reveals coffee, nut, and earthy notes that contribute to its layered and savory profile. It may be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed, allowing its character to evolve across different serving temperatures. Simple food pairing suggestions include wild mushroom risotto, pork soup dumplings, roasted mushroom dishes, and other savory, umami-rich cuisine that complements its distinctive character.
