Kanbara “Bride of the Fox”
Niigata prefecture
$44.00
The stuff of legends
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 Mount 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 daiginjo, but the savory notes and food pairing versatility identify more with the style expected from ginjo.

Crackers are excellent to balance the lightness and simplicity of junmai ginjo sake. For sake ware, we recommend glasses or cups that enhance the sake’s fruity aroma.
