Yoshinogawa Winter Warrior Junmai Ginjo Sake is a premium Japanese sake from Niigata, Japan, brewed with Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 60%. The name "Winter Warrior" pays tribute to the Kurabito — the skilled craftspeople who labor through winter's deepest snows to produce exceptional sake. Yoshinogawa is one of Japan's most celebrated breweries, with a heritage spanning centuries in the Niigata region, renowned for its clean, refined sake styles.

This Junmai Ginjo offers a wonderfully approachable drinking experience with lush tropical and floral aromas. On the palate, expect notes of honeydew melon and lychee with a refreshing, medium-bodied finish. With a sake meter value (SMV) of -1 and acidity of 1.3, the sake strikes a pleasing balance between a gentle sweetness and a clean, crisp character. It pairs well with fresh fruit dishes with poppy seed dressing, grilled pork, and Vietnamese rice noodle salad. Serve chilled in a classic o-choko, wine glass, or rocks glass.
