The Birth and Craftsmanship of Suigei Junmai Ginjo Ginrei
Suigei Junmai Ginjo Ginrei was the first product released by Suigei Brewery when they began selling ginjo sake in earnest, and it remains a flagship product to this day. It is made using 100% “Ginpu,” a premium sake rice from Hokkaido, polished to a 50% ratio. The brewing water is sourced from the pristine springs of the Kagami River in Kochi Prefecture, and traditional Kumamoto yeast is used. With state-of-the-art brewing facilities and meticulous quality control through in-house rice polishing, the sake is brewed in small batches and undergoes slow, low-temperature fermentation to maximize the natural flavors of the ingredients.
Exquisite Balance of Flavor and Aroma
Suigei Junmai Ginjo Ginrei is characterized by its subtle citrus aroma and the unique refreshing acidity of Suigei. It brings out the full spectrum of the “five tastes” including acidity and bitterness, offering a broad palate while maintaining a crisp finish. The smooth and silky mouthfeel ensures it is never tiring to drink, making it a well-balanced delight. The restrained aroma complements meals, enhancing the flavors of dishes, making it an ideal companion for dining.
Recommended Enjoyment
Suigei Junmai Ginjo Ginrei is best enjoyed well-chilled. It is recommended to store it in a cool, dark place, as chilling enhances its refreshing acidity and umami. Pair it with Kochi Prefecture’s rich culinary offerings, such as traditional “sawachi” platters, seafood, and mountain delicacies, to elevate any dining experience. As a perfect supporting role to the main dishes, Suigei Junmai Ginjo Ginrei pairs excellently with a wide variety of cuisines.

It features a subtle aroma with a slight acidity and a clean finish, embodying the brewery's dedication to perfecting it as a "food-pairing sake." It pairs exceptionally well with "Katsuo no Tataki," a seared bonito dish popular in Kochi, enhancing the flavors of both and allowing you to fully enjoy their deliciousness.
