About

Made using 100% Yamada Nishiki, a sake rice suited to brewing, polished to 35%, and carefully brewed with great dedication. This junmai daiginjo has a vibrant ginjo aroma and a delicate, refined palate that is nonetheless full-bodied. It pairs excellently with sashimi as well as salt-grilled fish, ohitashi (vegetables dressed in dashi), sakamushi (sake-steamed dishes), and ichiyazuke (overnight pickles), and with dishes seasoned with light dashi. Recommended sake in the Junmai Daiginjo category at the 2020 International Wine Challenge, and Gold Medal in the Premium Daiginjo category at the 2021 The Fine SAKE Award, Japan.
