Part of Envoyer's Sake Selection From the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Event!

Koimari “Saki” Junmai Ginjo is produced by Koimari Shuzo, a small, family-run brewery established in 1909 in Imari, Saga Prefecture—an area better known historically for porcelain than sake. Despite its modest size, Koimari is highly regarded for meticulous brewing and clean, expressive styles rooted in traditional methods. “Saki” is brewed with Saga-produced Yamadanishiki polished to 55%, using soft local water and a slow, cold fermentation to maximize aroma and precision. The brewery emphasizes small-batch production and does not use charcoal filtration, allowing the natural clarity and flavor of the sake to shine. Though not vintage-dated, batch variation is tightly controlled. This Junmai Ginjo offers lifted notes of ripe pear, white flower, and faint banana, balanced by a supple texture and clean, dry finish. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking a food-friendly sake with regional character and artisanal integrity.
