A bolder, richer sake from Niigata, a prefecture better known for making the lightest, driest sake in Japan. Kaetsu Shuzo has been brewing in Aga, in the Higashi-Kanbara district, since 1880, and under toji Kenichiro Yamaga the house deliberately builds more body and aroma than the regional norm. The name comes from a local legend: mysterious lights seen on Mount Kirin were said to be a fox wedding procession, and the town still stages a fox-bride parade every spring. This is junmai ginjo made from Gohyakumangoku rice milled to 50 percent, a polishing ratio that would legally qualify it as daiginjo, though the flavor lands squarely in richer ginjo territory. At 16.5 percent alcohol with a nihonshu-do of +3, it is dry-leaning but generous. Serve it lightly chilled, or let it come up toward room temperature to bring out the nutty side.
