Benten Sawane Junmai Ginjo

As charming and sublime as Benten's smiling face on the label.

Benten Sawane is a collaboration with the Gotoh Sake Brewery of Higashiokitama, Yamagata Prefecture. Benten Sawane takes its name from the Goddess Benten, to whom a shrine is dedicated at the rear of the brewery building. A charming, easily approachable sake with an elegant palate and pleasant finish, as pure and beautiful as its label.

Flavour profile

Nose of white peaches and freshly prepared green vegetables. The attack is strong yet smooth, with flavours of fully ripe melon and pear extending out on the finish. A sweet profile with restrained acidity. An accessible, approachable style, with an accent of crisp dryness on the finish.
