Tasting Notes

Nabeshima Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo opens with an elegant apple-like aroma and a subtle stream of fine bubbles. Juicy umami and gentle sweetness give the palate a rounded, full-bodied texture, while balanced acidity keeps the finish clean and lively. Serve chilled at 46 to 59°F (8 to 15°C) for a brighter fruit profile, or warmed at 104 to 122°F (40 to 50°C) for a fuller expression of rice. Pair with cream-based dishes, Japanese braised pork belly, or boiled crab.
