About
The 大 in 大吟醸 (daiginjo) means "flourishing" or "excellent" (according to the Kojien dictionary). It is, so to speak, the highest honorific title a sake can receive. Debates over the definition of daiginjo, such as the rule that the rice must be milled by more than half, are merely tiresome. It may not be said to taste like hearing the music of the heavenly realms, but one simply has to drink it before there is anything worth discussing.
