Tasting Notes

Gasanryu Asagao opens with an elegant, distinctly fruity aroma, followed by refreshing notes of crisp orchard fruit, delicate florals, and a subtle citrus-like brightness. The palate is clean and graceful yet carries enough depth to remain expressive, with gentle sweetness balanced by lively acidity. Light-bodied and exceptionally refreshing, it finishes crisp, smooth, and clean, an ideal profile for warm-weather drinking. Its graceful yet vivid character makes it especially enjoyable when well-chilled during the warmer months.

Overview

Brewed by Shindo Shuzoten in Yonezawa, Yamagata Prefecture, Gasanryu Asagao, meaning “Morning Glory,” is the summer release from the brewery’s seasonal Betsuatsurae series. Its colorful morning-glory bottle design reflects the freshness and vibrancy of the season.

This limited Junmai Ginjo is crafted entirely from Tamanae, a rarely cultivated Yamagata sake rice prized for producing expressive aromatics and a refined, structured flavor. Polished to 60% and brewed to a lighter 14% ABV, Asagao presents an elegant combination of fragrant fruit, refreshing acidity, and a remarkably clean finish.
