Named in honor of the ancient region that is now Niigata, Echigo Junmai is a serious contender, if not the winner, for the finest affordable import Junmai. Lovely water notes express the rich mountain region of Niigata while citrus and spice overtones suspended in buttery sweetness highlight the brewer's skill. It’s the perfect duality of sweet and savory making it an incredibly versatile brew.
Enjoyment: Lovely with savory cuisine such as gamey meats or rotisserie, but equally good paired with buttery desserts like ginger pound cake.
