This distinctive approach creates a lively acidity that sets it apart from more conventional styles.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA rich sweetness emerges first, followed by a vibrant interplay of acidity and fruit. Notes of melon, grapefruit, and orange peel bring brightness and complexity, while the finish remains clean and refreshing. Balanced yet expressive, it offers both depth and lift in equal measure.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nServed lightly chilled, it pairs especially well with richly flavored dishes, including red meats, cream-based preparations, and dishes finished with robust sauces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrewery: Azumatsuru Shuzo\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Saga\nprefecture \u003cbr\u003eSpecial Designation Grade: Junmai Ginjo Black\u003cbr\u003eRice Polishing Rate: 55% \u003cbr\u003eRice: Saga No Hana\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 15.5% \u003cbr\u003eSake Meter Value: -7 \u003cbr\u003eAcidity: 2.2 +\u003cbr\u003eServe: Chilled or lightly chilled 41-50°F\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e720ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAzumatsuru Shuzo traces its history to 1830 in Saga Prefecture. Although sake production was suspended for many years due to financial difficulties, the brewery was revitalized in 2008 when the founder's descendant resumed brewing, bringing new life to a long-standing family tradition.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nToday, the brewery works with locally grown sake rice from Saga Prefecture and draws exceptionally pure groundwater from the region.
