Sake description:
This savory sake is inspired by local legends of Niigata's annual fox-bride festival. Local lore tells of mysterious lights that appeared on nearby Mt. Kirin in the distant past, which are claimed to be the lanterns carried in the fox-bride procession. With a 50% polishing rate, this sake could technically qualify as a Junmai Daiginjo, but the savory notes and food pairing versatility identify more with the style expected from Junmai Ginjo.

この風味豊かなお酒は、新潟で毎年行われる狐の花嫁祭りの地元の伝説にインスピレーションを得たものです。地元の言い伝えによると、遠い昔、近くの麒麟山に現れた不思議な光は、狐の嫁入り行列で運ばれた灯籠だと言われています。精米歩合が 50% のこの酒は、厳密には純米大吟醸と言えますが、風味豊かな香りと料理との組み合わせの多様性は、純米吟醸に期待されるスタイルによりよく当てはまります。
