About

A mellow junmai daiginjo in which the rich umami of Yamada Nishiki, a moderate acidity, and a gentle aroma come together on the palate. Its clean, crisp finish draws out the inherent strength of the rice. Serve it lightly chilled, paired with seasonal ingredients. The sake has earned five placings in the Junmai Daiginjo category of the sake division of the International Wine Challenge (IWC), the world's largest wine competition, two of which were gold medals.
