Translation from the Producer's Website
"Hiroshima Ginjo Sake was born from the soft water brewing method established by Miura Senzaburo and the rice polishing technology of Satake (Higashihiroshima City), which developed Japan's first powered rice polishing machine. After more than 120 years, Ginjo Sake is opening the door to a new stage. The focus of innovation is on the shape of the rice. From the traditional method of polishing rice into a spherical shape, to a thin, flat polishing (Shingin). The latest rice polishing machine has achieved the same protein reduction rate with 60% polishing as the traditional 40% polishing. Each bottle of directly drawn raw sake is carefully bottle-pasteurized and stored in bottles, preserving the fresh flavor of freshly pressed sake."

Producer Description
"SHIRO (White) is our “session sake,” light enough to enjoy all night. Mild aromas of banana and apple lead into a palate that is gently sweet and brightened by acidity and lingering savory umami.
SHIRO is named for a soft white cloth made from tree bark that has the same light and buoyant character. Pairs well with fresh greens, salads w/citrus accents, grilled shrimp & chicken, dairy and cheese dishes."

Revel Chambarine
$19.99
From the Producer;
"A collaboration with our friends, the Grape Witches.
The best ideas, like the best friendships, are often easy.
I've been friends with the Grape Witches for the better part of a decade now, so when they asked to come blend with me, of course I said yes.
Chambarine feels like it encapsulates the pure joy that is hanging with them: the giggle of plump nectarines, the wit of tart apples, and the resilience of a (new-to-us) hybrid grape—Chambourcin."
