Shirakabegura Junmai Daiginjo
In 3 words: Balanced Delicate Sweetness
The premium line of the brewery’s range, this aromatic Junmai Daiginjo has a light sweetness of strawberry and melon. To taste, it is delicately dry and acidic with a faint lactic flavour of vanilla ice cream. As it warms to room temperature, it becomes bolder, richer and more full-bodied, leaving a lingering spicy and nutty finish with noticeable umami.
