About
This ultimate Junmai Daiginjo has a rice polishing ratio of 20% and is blended mainly from sake aged for about five years at -10°C. Its noble aroma and clear, deep flavor are deeply moving. It is truly a gem that represents Japan's sake culture. Bon (also read as BORN) is a Sanskrit word translated as 'untainted purity' and 'pursuit of truth.' Read as BORN, it means 'birth' or 'creation.'
