Product details
Niwa no Uguisu Junmai Ginjo Usunigori is a seasonal winter release that celebrates the freshness and vibrancy of newly brewed sake. Produced in the delicate usunigori style, this expression contains a fine veil of rice sediment that contributes texture and character while maintaining remarkable clarity and elegance. Crafted as an unpasteurized release, it captures the lively qualities and youthful energy that are prized in seasonal offerings. Niwa no Uguisu, meaning “Bush Warbler of the Garden,” is known for creating expressive and food-friendly products, and this limited seasonal release beautifully showcases the brewery’s dedication to balance, freshness, and craftsmanship.
On the palate, Niwa no Uguisu Junmai Ginjo Usunigori offers a fresh and fruity aromatic profile complemented by the gentle sweetness characteristic of the usunigori style. Notes of peach skin, green apple, and mango sticky rice unfold across a light, silky texture, while the ultra-fine rice sediment contributes subtle depth and complexity. Fresh, elegant, and highly approachable, it delivers a refreshing finish that makes it exceptionally versatile with food. Food pairing suggestions include sea bream carpaccio, fresh spring rolls, apple and yogurt salad, marinated grilled vegetables, and other lightly seasoned dishes that complement its delicate fruit character and lively freshness.
