Mizubasho Junmai Ginjyo 720ml

This beauty from the Nagai Brewery is as distant from warm sake as the Caribbean from Iqaluit. Gently sweet and lusciously creamy, it’s brimming with suggestions of cucumber, lemongrass, tropical fruit, black pepper and smoke. And you may sense a Chablis-like nuance of what wine aficionados call minerality. Complex and harmonious, it’s perfect for raw oysters, young cheeses and, yes, sushi.
