About
This daiginjo is made with carefully selected Yamada Nishiki, a sake rice variety, polished in-house to a rice polishing ratio of 45%. It is brewed with natural water from Gassan, one of the One Hundred Famous Waters of Japan, under a skilled toji (master brewer) who tends each batch with the care a parent gives a child. It has a fragrant aroma and a clean, smooth sensation on the palate. Awards: Gold Medal, U.S. National Sake Appraisal 2018
