NV Tamura Shuzo Ginginga Junmai Ginjo Tokyo

Sometimes a wine can be a wake-up call. This sake, from one of Japan’s most legendary producers, is exactly that. In fact, it changed how we think about sake as a category, and today we’re honored to gove you the potential for your own “aha” moment.

The Tamura Shuzo Ginginga Junmai Ginjo has dazzling complexity and incredible food-friendliness. If you’re looking to give Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Soave a break this season, this unique, hard-to-find Japanese treasure is for you. 

Tamura combines four yeast strains—including two closely guarded proprietary strains—which add aromatic complexity and incredible body to this sake. Each yeast strain is fermented separately, and all four are blended into the final, crystal-clear product.

An explosion of fresh florals bursts from the glass, giving way to peach blossom, Meyer lemon, citrus zest, and green apple. On the palate, this feels like crisp white wine: It’s just as refreshing as a zippy Sauvignon Blanc, and it pairs deliciously with summer delicacies like creamy Kumamoto oysters and chilled, arugula-topped beef carpaccio. A treasure in Japan, this sake is rarely imported.

Tamura was one of the most delicious wake-up calls of our careers, and we hope you’ll join us in adding this exquisite sake to your rotation.
