KINOENE APPLE NAMAZAKE JUNMAI GINJO 甲子 林檎Apple 純米吟釀生酒 720ml
Brewed by Iinuma Honke (飯沼本家) in Chiba Prefecture, Kinoene Apple Namazake Junmai Ginjo (甲子 林檎 純米吟釀 生酒) is one of Japan’s most popular seasonal nama sakes. Unpasteurised and lightly effervescent, it expresses the bright, juicy freshness of newly pressed Junmai Ginjo at its peak.
Made with locally grown sake rice and brewed under cold fermentation, it offers vivid notes of green apple, pear, and white grape, balanced by crisp acidity and gentle sweetness. The “Apple” concept captures its natural fruit aroma and clean, refreshing finish — a perfect choice for warm weather or aperitif moments.
