The foundation rests on locally cultivated Gohyakumangoku rice polished down to 60%, maintaining strict Junmai Ginjo standards without brewer's alcohol, added sugars, or preservatives. Unlike standard canned alcoholic beverages back-sweetened or diluted with flavor extracts, this canning preserves Niigata's classic tanrei karakuchi (crisp, clean, and dry) brewing profile, dialed back to an sessionable 12% ABV with a balanced -1 Sake Meter Value (SMV) and 1.3 acidity.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \r\nAromatics open with delicate green apple, honeydew melon, and a subtle steam-rice sweetness. On the palate, light physical weight carries cleanly through the mid-palate, revealing soft rice umami, faint white peach, and a brisk, dry mineral snap. The full-aperture opening allows complete aromatic expression directly from the can without muffling the ginjo bouquet. In-house testing at USQ showed that serving it ice-cold (38°F-42°F) maximizes its crisp finish, making it a versatile pairing alongside fresh nigiri, spicy salmon rolls, pork gyoza, or street-style chicken yakitori. For an effortless low-proof highball, our team recommends pouring 3 oz WESAKE over cracked ice in a highball glass, topping with 2 oz chilled club soda, and expressing a fresh lime coin over the surface. \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n","brand":"Wesake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67685697651052,"sku":"1-100082","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0469\/6411\/3569\/files\/WeSakeCan1801080.jpg?v=1791835733","url":"https:\/\/unionsquarewines.shop\/products\/wesake-junmai-ginjo-sake-can-180ml","provider":"Union Square Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
