KINOENE APPLE JUNMAI GINJO 甲子 林檎Apple 純米吟釀 720ml
Brewed by Iinuma Honke (飯沼本家) in Chiba Prefecture, Kinoene Apple Junmai Ginjo (甲子 林檎 純米吟釀) is a signature sake celebrated for its fruity fragrance and smooth, refreshing taste.
Inspired by the clean sweetness of Japanese apples, it balances gentle acidity with elegant umami — a modern expression of the brewery’s youthful, creative spirit.
Expect fragrant notes of green apple, pear, and melon, a silky texture, and a crisp, dry-fresh finish. Crafted with precision under low-temperature fermentation, it’s a sake that delights both seasoned drinkers and those exploring premium Ginjo for the first time.
