Kawatsuru Junmai Ginjo "Olive" Old DarumaThe nose on this unique and tasty brew from Kagawa Prefecture is a cool collection of grape, pear, melon, vanilla, chive, and peach aromas. The sake world continues to express itself with different techniques and ingredients. Made with an olive yeast, this brew was built to showcase Kagawa in a bottle of sake. Some sake is made with flower yeast or fruit yeast, but this is a first for us here at True Sake. Does it taste like olives? Not really, rather
Coarsely Filtered
A mid-sized glass works best for the acidity and the action
The first sip shines of a well-built Ginjo
sweet white bread
30% all Junmai Ginjo even though
So much feeling and flavor in each sip
This "Soul of the Sensei"
this Ginjo is even-keeled and the proof is in the easy and refreshing nature of each sip
which then slips into a round and fresh finish with no aftertaste
Behold a tremendous sake with one of the best starts
and big fun
the fluid is almost buoyant and balloons in the palate with smooth feelings and Ginjo goodness
