Hamakawa Shoten Brewery Junmai Daiginjo 'Hina - The Gentleman' Sake

It is a sake of remarkable clarity, a soft approach, and a light, spritzy citrus finish. Typically drier and lighter than most Junmai Daiginjo but with surprising depth. Light, clean flavor, citrusy finish. Prominent grapefruit aromas, medium-light body, clean flavors, more citrus on the finish. Raw oysters, fatty fish like tuna and bonito, lighter salads, raw squid.
