About
Made with Hokkaido-grown rice Kitashizuku, polished down to 40%, this Junmai Daiginjo is brewed from only rice and rice koji. A junmai daiginjo made with nothing but rice and rice koji is the ultimate expression of sake, one that truly tests the ability of the brewery and the skill of its toji (master brewer). It is characterized by a rich ginjo aroma reminiscent of yellow apples. Its sweetness, body, and gentle acidity are expected to pair well with Western cuisine, such as sautéed white fish and aged cheese, making it a bottle well suited to such dishes.
