Koimari Blue Bird Junmai Ginjo
Tasting Notes
A gentle, elegant ginjo aroma reminiscent of ripe peaches. Slightly sparkling, with a well-balanced interplay of effervescence, sweetness, and acidity. Subtle sweetness akin to shiratama (glutinous rice dumplings). A pleasant rice-derived sweetness spreads across the palate, followed by a smooth, peach-like finish where richness and acidity harmonize beautifully, creating a refined and luxurious impression.
Overview
Food Pairings: Light meats, white fish, blue fish (raw or lightly seared), seafood such as squid and scallops, hot pot or soup dishes with dried sardine or fish-based broth, dishes seasoned with soy sauce or miso, dishes or desserts made with fresh cream or mascarpone cheese.
