Translating to "A Drop of Omi Rice", this junmai ginjo endeavours to showcase the characteristics of Omi, a rice varietal local to Shiga prefecture. Surprisingly dry for the style, crunchy and rice-bran forward, with some salinity and nuttiness, I feel like this would work pretty well with a cheeseboard or charcuterie as a bit of aperitif.
The brewer also recommends trying this sake warmed, as the Kitajima brand itself is centred around a full-flavoured, dry, kimoto style.
