Four Fox Sake, Junmai Daiginjo, Japan

Named after the guardian foxes of the Inari Okami, who is the god of rice, the 'Four Fox' Junmai (pure rice) Daiginjo is made using snow melt water from Niigata and the Gohyakumangoku rice, known for its large shinpaku (the opaque white part of the rice). It has a glamorous nose of banana and pear candy, in addition to miso and freshly steamed rice. A pure and vinous palate of rice milk, melon and pear, with lemon zests to provide a lift.
