$120Grace in a Glass – Koshino Kanbai “Gold Innocent” Junmai Daiginjo
🌏 Description
Crafted by Ishimoto Shuzo, Koshino Kanbai “Gold Innocent” Junmai Daiginjo stands as one of the most delicate and revered sake expressions from Niigata—the heartland of Japan’s snow-melt sake. Known for its crisp waters and minimalist perfection, Niigata’s terroir imbues this sake with unmatched refinement and serenity.
The aroma is subtle yet crystalline: hints of white peach, rice flower, and alpine spring. On the palate, it delivers a silky glide—cool and pure—with restrained fruit sweetness, a whisper of umami, and a long, transparent finish that leaves no trace but serenity. A quintessential expression of tanrei karakuchi (light and dry), it is the embodiment of grace in liquid form.
Ideal for special occasions, meditative evenings, or pairing with refined cuisine, this sake celebrates clarity, subtlety, and silence—the quiet luxury of Japanese craftsmanship.
