Matsunotsukasa Junmai Ginjo55

🍶
Description

Matsunotsukasa Junmai Ginjo 55 is polished to 55 percent, sitting precisely between the standard junmai ginjo threshold of 60 percent and the daiginjo threshold of 50 percent, producing a sake that combines the fuller rice character typical of the lower-polished junmai range with a lighter, more aromatic profile approaching daiginjo delicacy. Matsuse Shuzo in Ryuo Town, Shiga, uses contract-grown rice and house yeast to achieve a balanced expression with moderate floral fragrance, clean acidity, and smooth umami. The 55 percent polish represents a deliberate calibration within the ginjo spectrum.

Matsuse Sake Brewery

Shiga
I always want to be myself in the sake brewing of "Matsunoji". In order to be a "pine boss", it starts with local ingredients such as liquor rice grown locally and water that sucks from 120m underground. Thanks to the land of Ryuo -cho, we are carefully sake brewing so that you can feel the atmosphere of the warehouse and the spread of rural areas.
