The rice is polished to 55% remaining, and the resulting sake combines an expressive fruit profile with enough structure to accompany a wide range of dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name pays tribute to Li Po, the poet who also inspired Rihaku Brewery’s name. In the glass, banana and ripe melon lead into a fresh, lightly herbal finish. Its light-to-medium body and crisp acidity make this an especially useful bottle for vegetable dishes that can be difficult to match with wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eProduct Detail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eRihaku Brewery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eShimane, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSake Grade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eJunmai Ginjo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e15.2% ABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e720mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eRice\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eYamada Nishiki\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eRice Polishing Ratio\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e55% remaining\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSake Meter Value \/ Acidity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e+3 \/ 1.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Banana and ripe honeydew melon, with a fresh aromatic character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juicy fruit supported by a light-to-medium body and crisp, clean acidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lingering fruit gives way to green, herbal notes and a refreshing close.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJunmai Ginjo brewed with Yamada Nishiki rice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 55% polishing ratio, meaning 55% of the grain remains.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFruit-forward aromas balanced by clean acidity and an herbal finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA particularly useful pairing for vegetables and soft cheeses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe chilled in a wine glass to explore the fruit and herbal aromas, then allow the pour to open gradually.
