Okunomatsu Ginjo
Okunomatsu Ginjo is a lovely Ginjo from one of my favorite Fukushima breweries. Fruity, mellow, and subtly complex, this one is easy to recommend to anyone. #sake #saketime #saketuesday #nihonshu #ginjo #fukushima #okunomatsu #sakekanpai #saketotheworld #日本酒 #吟醸酒 #福島酒 #福島
Ninki-Ichi “Purple” Junmai Daiginjo
One of my favorite sakes from #fukushima , Ninki-Ichi’s “Purple” Junmai Daiginjo, is fragrant and medium-bodied with a clean, dry finish. A fantastic JDG, particularly for the price. #sakekampai #sake #sakethursdays #junmaidaiginjo #ninkiichi #ninkiichibrewery #fukushimasake #disneyinfinity #hawkeye #日本酒 #純米大吟醸 #福島日本酒 #福島
Ninki-Ichi Brewery Sake Workshop
As part of a recent effort to bring attention to Fukushima’s award winning sake breweries, several events were held in the largest market for sake in North America, New York. This first event was held at Shigure in TriBeca and featured Ninki-Ichi’s Kuramoto, Yujin Yusa introducing a crowd of industry and media to his brewery’s offerings with a focus on the pairing possibilities for warmed premium sake!
