Sake One Moonstone Asian Pear Infused Junmai Ginjo - 300 ml
Sake One Moonstone Asian Pear is a premium infused Junmai Ginjo sake originating from Forest Grove, Oregon, in the United States. It is produced by SakéOne, America's first successful craft sake brewery, which was founded in 1992 and began brewing its own labels in 1997. Under the guidance of Brewmaster Takumi Kuwabara, the brewery utilizes natural spring water from the Oregon Coastal Range and exclusive Calrose rice grown in California's Sacramento Valley to craft this innovative infusion.
Description
This sake presents a clear appearance and features a fresh, fruit forward sensory profile. It offers a pronounced aroma of fresh Asian pear, apricot, and a hint of slate. On the palate, it is delicately sweet and smooth, showcasing flavours of ripe pear, green melon, and agave syrup balanced by a crisp Ginjo character. The body is light to medium with a polished mouthfeel, leading to a smooth and lightly dry finish. It has an alcohol by volume of 12% and is best enjoyed well chilled or as a base for expressive cocktails.
Food Pairing
The versatile and approachable nature of Moonstone Asian Pear makes it an ideal match for a wide range of cuisines. Its sweetness and fruitiness perfectly complement spicy dishes such as ramen, Thai noodle broths, and spicy tuna tataki salad. It is also a popular companion for casual fare like gourmet pizza—particularly Hawaiian or veggie options—and grilled meats. For a lighter pairing, consider serving it with fresh salads containing fruit, prawns, or mild pork dishes.
