HORAISEN WA JUNMAI GINJO

Food Pairings: Sichuan Boiled Fish, Dan Dan Noodles, Papaya Salad, Rich Spicy Indian Coconut Milk Curries, Cured Mackerel, Spicy Konjac, Macaroni Salad, Anchovy Pizza.

Tasting Notes: 

A Ginjo made from Yamada Nishiki milled to 50%, this reads like a tropical-focused Daiginjo on the nose. Tons of ripe fruit - banana, melon, lychee and white peach - with a small of amount of steamed rice and sweet almond jelly-like aromas dance in one's glass. Wa also displays a distinct sweetness on the palate - rich and smooth and opulent, but with distinct acidity.
