All rice used for Yoshinogawa sake is grown in the Niigata prefecture which is known for producing crisp, clean, fragrant, silky smooth sake. Gokujo means 'excellent' and it can be used only for the top range of Ginjo style within the brewery. This sake is matured in tank for at least 6 months before bottling and Yoshinogawa bottles this sake every month to ensure its freshness. Ginjo Gokujo shows hints of stone fruits like peach and nectarine. It is lean and tight on palate with soft acidity with a hint of bitterness and some licorise/anise flavours. It has a smooth and silky mouth feel along with some nice subtle complexity.
Gensen Karakuchi means 'specially selected dry' . With a fruity nose, the palate has a tight structure with hints of citrus and a savoury, Umami aspect, finishing long and dry.
A fresh expression of Niigata style saké, Winter Warrior is crafted for today’s imbiber who seeks something refreshing, fruit-forward and overall elegantly decadent. The layered tropical aromas and lush fruit flavors of Winter Warrior make it an easy transition for wine enthusiasts and cocktail fans. Clean, complex and ready to lead your saké adventure.
