Masumi Aka Red Junmai Ginjo

Masumi Aka “Red” is a flagship Junmai Ginjo sake from Nagano, crafted by the historic Miyasaka Brewery using the traditional yamahai method, known for adding depth and complexity. Made with premium rice polished to 55%, it showcases a refined balance between fruitiness and savory character.

Medium-bodied and expressive, it offers a vibrant aromatic profile with notes of banana, stone fruits and red plum, layered with subtle dairy and lactic nuances. On the palate, it reveals rich umami, fresh acidity and a smooth, slightly creamy texture, finishing dry, clean and persistent
