SAKEBERTO JUNMAI GINJO SAKE

Sakeberto Junmai Ginjo is a celebration of sophistication and precision — a sake crafted with the utmost care to reveal the beauty of polished rice and masterful fermentation. Brewed with premium-grade rice polished to at least 60% of its original grain size, this sake embodies the delicate artistry of the ginjo style: fragrant, silky, and impeccably balanced.

The Sakeberto brewing team brings together time-honored Japanese craftsmanship and modern precision to create a sake that is both classic and contemporary. The result is a vibrant expression of Junmai Ginjo — smooth and aromatic, with refined floral and fruit notes that unfold gracefully with every sip.

Tasting Notes

  • Flavor Profile: Smooth and layered, with hints of white peach, melon, and jasmine, balanced by a clean minerality and soft umami undertone.

Each bottle captures the spirit of Japanese elegance and innovation, offering a refined drinking experience from the first pour to the last sip.
