About
This junmai daiginjo is made from Yamada Nishiki, the finest sake rice, polished down to small, jewel-like grains and crafted with the utmost skill. It has a pronounced ginjo character, with an aroma reminiscent of ripe fruit and a gentle sweetness that pairs perfectly with meat dishes. It is a rare sake that the kurabito (brewery workers) can recommend with confidence. Message from the Toji (master brewer) Selecting a fragrant yeast and a koji that adds depth to the flavor, the brewers poured all of their skill into this top-grade daiginjo from Kinokawa.
