Mutsu Hassen Ginjo PINK
Brewed with local yeast and rice as well as white koji, which gives it slight sourness of citric acid, the pink label is a playful and enjoyable Ginjo sake. Fruity aroma with notes of melon and banana. Mellow flavors reminiscent of cotton candy or bubble gum fade into a light dryness.
Its aromatic quality, reminiscent of melon and banana, is matched by its mellow flavor. The crisp cut on the back end allows the lingering fruitiness to spread slowly in the mouth. Its light dryness and pleasant sharpness should be matched not only with Japanese food but also with western food like Cream pasta, tomato and mozzarella cheese salad, plain donuts, and other sweet treats

How it tastes.
Three pairings.
Lamb chops, charred
The thyme picks up grilled rosemary; the brightness cuts the fat.
Mezze table
Hummus, muhammara, kibbeh — high notes for a low‑slung table.
Mushroom risotto
A vegetarian match. The wine’s salinity reads as savoury.
