Junmai Ginjo Origarami “White Sun”
Yamagata
Located in the Yamagata region of Northern Japan, The Eiko Fuji Brewing Company was founded in 1778 and is now led by the 13th generation of the Kato family. The Katos named their sake after Mt. Fuji because they wanted their sake to be as glorious and widely enjoyed as the National Symbol. Today, Kodai Kato is the Toji, or head Brewmaster. Kodai Toji is the youngest Toji in Japan to win Gold Awards at the National Sake Competitions for his sake. Adept at using many different types of rice and methods, the brewery is brimming with youthful inspiration and passion.
Origarami is a style of nigori (cloudy) sake, meaning it is slightly hazy with well incorporated sake lees. This method allows you to enjoy the pure taste of the Miyama Nishiki sake rice, without being heavy on the palate. This sake is undiluted (genshu) and pasteurized just once in the bottle before shipping to retain its brightness.
The sake is smooth and silky, with notes of honeydew melon and milk punch. Finishing with a sparkly acidity that makes this sake easy to pair with many dishes from ceviche to cheeseburgers. Best served chilled.
