A Classic Junmai Ginjo That Embodies the Spirit of Akitora
With a soft ginjo aroma, full-bodied flavor, and refreshing acidity, this Junmai Ginjo has long been a beloved staple since the birth of the Akitora brand.
Crafted with care year after year, it represents the foundation of our brewing philosophy. While honoring tradition, we continue to fine-tune this sake in pursuit of the ideal flavor—allowing it to evolve with the times.
It offers a gentle, fruity bouquet reminiscent of melon and banana. On the palate, a well-rounded richness unfolds, balanced by a crisp acidity that brings the entire experience into harmony.
Full-flavored yet clean in the finish, it pairs beautifully with a wide variety of dishes.
