About

The label is designed to evoke the shinpaku (the white core of the sake rice grain). This Junmai Daiginjo is characterized by the graceful ginjo aroma typical of Yamada Nishiki and a soft umami, and its flavor is very well balanced. It was awarded the Platinum Prize in the Junmai Daiginjo category at KURA MASTER – le grand concours de sake japonais de Paris 2019 in France.
