Kokuryu Ginnotobira

Ginnotobira, meaning the door of ginjo, is the entry point into Kokuryu's celebrated daiginjo range and an ideal introduction to what has made this Fukui brewery, founded in 1804, a coveted name among sake enthusiasts worldwide. Polished to 50%, it delivers the brewery's hallmark of richness balanced against clean refreshment: tropical flowers, grape, and honey on the nose, with cedar, citrus, and a crisp mineral dryness on the palate that pairs as naturally with food as it does with quiet contemplation. The finish is precise, clean, and quietly enduring.
