Class: Junmai Ginjo
Rice: Koshihikari

Food Pairings: Easy to pair with any type of food, but try marinated salmon, fresh cheeses such as feta, ricotta, cream cheese, or even something spicy such as hot wings or green curry.
Tasting Notes: Wakabotan Hinohikari toes the line between sour and sweet, and boasts aromas reminiscent of fresh citrus, white peach and Fuji apple. It may have a slight fizzy or effervescent character from the fermentation that adds excitement and interest, and has a high acidity and a clean, dry finish. Enjoy this sake either with food or by itself, chilled or on the rocks - best served chilled and enjoyed in a wine glass.
