About
"Kyokasuigetsu Ginjo" is a luxurious sake made by blending "Kyokasuigetsu Daiginjo," brewed with Yamada Nishiki, and "Kyokasuigetsu Junmai Ginjo," brewed with Hitogokochi, based on sensory evaluation by the toji (master brewer) and kurabito (brewery workers). The ginjo's highlights are its refined aromas derived from Kyokai No. 1801 and No. 1901 yeasts, harmonious umami and a clean finish, and an acidity that brings the balance of the sake together. It is also bottled unfiltered, pasteurized and bottled as it is, so you can enjoy the sake just as it was pressed, with nothing held back. Highly recommended.
