About

This junmai daiginjo is made from Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 35%, brewed with soft water from the underground stream (fukuryu) of the Nishikigawa, Yamaguchi Prefecture's largest clear stream. It has a floral ginjo aroma, a delicate flavor, and a texture like water. It is positioned as the flagship product of Sakai Shuzo, a sake the brewery is confident in. It received the Best in Show award in the Ginjo division at the Yamaguchi Prefecture New Sake Appraisal for the Heisei 30 (2018) brewing year.
