Kirinzan'Potari Potari Green' Nama Junmai Ginjo Sake

Brewery: Kirizan Brewery • Prefecture: Niigata  • Rice: Local Gohyaku Mangoku milled to 55% • Water: Soft  • Sake Meter Value: +2 • Acidity: 1.6 • ABV: 17%

• One of the highlights of the sake year: spring nama sake season! Spring only release, made without pasteurization or aging. Meant to be enjoyed in the warm months.
• Herbal aromas, light notes of tropical fruit and candied hazelnut
• Structure is lean, focused and flavorful, more elegant and structured than many other spring seasonal sake.
• Pairs well with Braised cured stripped bass with Hawaiihn black salt and pink peppercorns, and steamed mussels
• While we don’t like wine comparisons for sake this is definitely the Japanese cousin to a Feinherb Riesling: laser sharp, great acid and just the right amount of sweetness.
