Sawanoi’s “Tokyo Kurabito” is does a wonderful job of highlighting the middle ground between light and silky, fruit and floral layers of Junmai Ginjo sake, alongside a touch of savory, umami, and lactic-acid notes which come from the old school and difficult-to-execute starter mash style of Kimoto. 

Tropical fruit notes meet cashew and lemon yogurt, in a dry, clean finish. Layers of slight umami unfold beautifully from this sake’s spring water-textured core. The finish is crisp and mouthwatering. 

Tokyo Kurabito is made, interestingly, within the sphere of the Tokyo Metropolitan area, although it still is in a mountainous hard-to-reach area not near the city center.
