A Yamagata-style sake with plum, honeydew, and citrus notes on the nose.  A bright crispness, lively and almost chewy on the palate.  Lots of papaya, melon and pear. The Jokigen is a model Junmai Ginjo, with bold notes of cherry and apple balanced by savory undertones. Classic Yamagata style with its subtle layers of fruit and light sweetness. Made from specially grown Oyama Nishiki developed by a group of Toyama rice farmers looking to develop the ultimate sake rice. They chose Sakata Shuzo as a brewery that could bring out the full potential of the rice.
