Katafune Junmai Ginjo Genshu
$41
This brew is the marriage of a perfect union of Koshitanrei as the koji rice [used to convert to glucose] and KoshiIbuki as the kakemai rice [used to ferment]. The result is a taste profile that compliments all cuisine, primarily heavier fare. Don't miss the faint yogurt aroma and high umami with a crisp finish. It has earned its place at high-end Michelin-star restaurants in the California Bay Area.
