About
Koshikomi Junmai is the top-tier sake of the Michisakari brand. It is made with Hyogo Prefecture-grown Yamada Nishiki polished to a rice polishing ratio of 40%, and Akita Prefecture-grown Miyama Nishiki polished to a rice polishing ratio of 30%. It has a refined flavor and the honed, crisp finish (kire, a clean finish) characteristic of a brewery devoted to dryness, and its umami expands with every sip. A bottle that dry sake lovers will find irresistible, it pairs excellently not only with Japanese cuisine but also with Western dishes. Serving chilled or warmed to lukewarm (nurukan) is recommended.
