G Joy Genshu 750ml

Junmai Ginjo Genshu

A must experience, super premium Junmai Ginjo Genshu saké (pure, rice polished to 60%, undiluted).

Out of Stock

Handcrafted using ancient Japanese techniques and American sensibilities, g joy is the essence of East meets West and past meets present. Being undiluted (Genshu) it retains the rich depth that typically is diluted to soften and smooth the natural heartiness of saké. This is not a shy brew and we suggest you be equally open and share a bottle with friends who will appreciate such a premium experience. It’s bold, rich and full of exceptional flavors like melon, butterscotch and enticing black pepper.

Enjoyment: Wonderful on its own or on the rocks. It’s our favorite BBQ saké, but works well with anything smoked or hearty like lamb kabobs or Korean bulgogi.

Polish: 60%

SMV: +3

This is one of my favorite sake that SakeOne produces. I actually originally tried it out a wine.woot sampler and then after doing more research bought a group of sake's direct from sake one. With this still being by far my favorite.

My wife and I love this sake. A little on the pricy side but well worth it. If you like the blue bottles you will love this black bottle sake. Well filtered and no annoying rice in the product. Very smooth with no bitterness and moderate fruitiness. A sake perfectionist's sake. Trouble is how to keep this excellent brew in stock!

Just had this for the first time at a sushi bar in Portland. Absolutely fabulous!! Tremendous effort and I will look forward to more.

Wow! Have steered clear of US sakes as most have tasted like they had antifreeze in them. The young and attentive woman at an ABC here in Jupiter Florida gently suggested "G" and I am into my second glass....absolutely over the moon to find such a well-made sake...thank you and kudos Greg!

Just had at a Thai/Japanese restaurant in Royal Palm Beach. Easy on taste buds and smooth as nice French wine. Will order again.

I like to drink Sake warm or at room temperature. I'm surprised that most Sakes in the USA are served chilled. g sake joy is wonderful. I liked the smaller bottle because it is just for myself and also I wanted to see if I liked it. I also got a sake set for two before I bought the sake. That got me in the mood.

I discovered G at Cost Plus World Market. I have enjoyed many different sake in Hawai'i, Japan and California. This is my favorite!!! My girlfriend says it's the most romantic sake in the world!!

in freezer for 3 hours cause thats how i like it.... Best sake ever tasted. smoother finish. cantaloupe, cucumber water, and honey tones accent a clear sake with smooth finish that will serve well with any dish. -Robert Parker (just kidding this is not a snooty wine review but I feel inclined to be sophisticated in my review of this sake.)

After spending 3 years in Japan and trying many different kinds and can say with confidence that this is really great sake. I would recommend to all. I was torn between the fifty and the joy but both are amazing.

Never been a fan of sake, but this really changed that. Recommend in a dive in park city Utah. Smooth, slightly fruity but with a nice bite. Tastes like it should cost so much more. I'm buying a case of this.

This sake has a lingering taste of butter and has a highly astringent odor. I would never recommend anyone trying sake for the first time or looking for a good Genshu (a stronger unpasteurized sake) to try this. Stick to a more generally palatable sake like Hakutsuru Sake SHO-UNE Junmai Dai Ginjo or a if you want Genshu, try a Funaguchu "Gold". For sic bucks at the local store the Gold is a great tester from a age old brewer. Nice try Oregon brewers but your sake fell short.

I really didn't like it. Living in Japan probably made me a huge Sake snob. I would drink the cheap Geikkekan sake before paying $20 for this Sake. I was really disappointed

I have been drinking this sake for over 15 years and the newer stuff hasn't had the mild fruit flavors to it like the first ones I tried back when they where on Good Day Oregon but I still buy it because it's good.
