~ with another masterful Rumiko no Sake junmai - an expertly balanced ‘bare-faced’ sake (unpasteurised, unfiltered, undiluted), made using the classic yeast #6.

With: 🍶 Urakasumi Zen Junmai Ginjo
The bottle that made me fall in love with sake, and the film that bad me fall in love with Shishido & Suzuki - what better match? 😃
For this stylish and playful crime thriller, an equally playful and memorable sake. Urakasumi Zen is a bold and confident ginjo, with a perfect balance of flavours and acidity, and bright notes of green melon + pear. I’m glad to be matching these two today. 🤍🍈🕺🏻
