Junmai Ginjo: Ken

Junmai Ginjo: Ken

Present for the Samurai.

This elegant sake features a gentle, clean nose and smooth drinkability, with a flavor that expands into a soft and supple fullness. The superb balance of slightly dry and mild acid tastes and well-rounded aftertaste make it an excellent choice for meals prepared to bring out the best in carefully selected ingredients. It goes well with lightly flavored foods and also with seafood.

The name Ken means "to present something," or a "wonderful gift."
