About

A daiginjo with a refreshing aroma and a smooth finish on the palate. Chilled to around 10°C is recommended. It pairs well with fish, so enjoy it as a food sake alongside dishes such as salt-grilled white fish or meunière. A daiginjo you will never tire of, one that is sure to become a regular in your rotation. ■A Message from the Toji (master brewer) Selecting a yeast that produces a splendid aroma and a koji (rice mold) that adds depth of flavor, the brewers have poured all of their skill into this Kinokawa top-grade daiginjo.
