Gakki Masamune
• Brewery: Shindo Shuzo, Fukushima
• Style: Typically Junmai or Junmai Ginjo
• Profile: Gakki Masamune has developed a cult following in Japan, often described as approachable and silky. You can expect clean fruit notes (apple, melon), moderate umami, and a soft texture. Not aggressively aromatic like a flashy daiginjo, but well-balanced and easy to pair with food. Supposedly dry but I still found it to be on the sweet side. — 2 months ago

Yum!
It’s red. It’s got legs. It’s got a body. I’d say a slim fat body. So let’s say medium, it’s not a super full bodied wine. goes well with black Angus steak at Can Kiku. I’d recommend it, especially in the Spanish heat. Viva Espana! — a year ago

Such a great value and well balanced. I enjoyed it slightly chilled. Although it had some very subtle melon and floral notes, it did not really register as “sweet”. It was more in the aromas and had a bit of a savory, nutty finish. The texture of it was quite nice as well! — 6 years ago
