Food Pairings: The perfect companion for clams on the halfshell, lightly dressed salads and white fish sushi or sashimi.
Tasting Notes: Soft-feeling on the tongue, Oka’s transparency of flavor matches the clarity of the colorless liquor. It is floral rather than fruity, though there is a touch of pear, and perhaps melon.
Profile: Released in 1981 – this sake has now achieved legendary status. Prior to Oka’s release, ginjo-shu was basically competition-only. Unsurprisingly – Dewazakura Oka is arguably the quintessential ginjo.
