Tasting Notes

A beautifully modern sake that perfectly balances vibrant fruitiness with a refreshing structure. It opens with inviting aromas and lush notes of Muscat grape and honeydew melon on the palate. With a medium-full body and a juicy, subtly sweet texture, it remains incredibly approachable due to its slightly lower 13% alcohol content. The finish is remarkably clean, laced with bright acidity and a signature slight effervescence that invigorates the senses. Incredibly versatile, it pairs beautifully with sashimi, sushi, and soy-based dishes, as well as bold Western flavors like burrata with balsamic vinegar, grilled lamb, and pork tenderloin.

Overview

Brewed by Okidaikichi Honten in Fukushima Prefecture, the "Gakki Masamune" (Instruments of Masamune) brand is celebrated for its highly innovative and modern approach to traditional sake brewing. The "Junjo" is carefully crafted using premium Yamada Nishiki rice milled to 60% and fermented with the distinctive TM-1 yeast. This specific combination, along with a slightly lower ABV, yields a highly expressive, juicy profile with a delightful micro-carbonation. It is a masterpiece that effortlessly bridges the gap between classic sake and fine wine, making it a stellar choice for dynamic food pairings.
