Gochouda Brewery - Azumaichi "Higashi Ichi" Junmai Daiginjo
Our Take
Azumaichi “Higashi Ichi” Junmai Daiginjo is a complex, medium-full bodied sake with fantastic aromas of ripe cantaloupe, guava and even a touch of ramune. It has balanced acidity, medium-long finish, and a taste reminiscent of ripe banana.
This is a fantastic sake to chill, relax and enjoy on the porch with. The Azumaichi can also be paired with grilled chicken dishes like chicken satay, and even richer foods like fois gras! Overall, it’s an excellent quality sake that anybody will love.
