About
Crafted with Nihonsakari's original yeast and the traditional techniques of the Tamba toji (master brewers), this is a serious Daiginjo. Sake rice polished to 50% (rice polishing ratio) is brewed slowly at low temperature, producing the fruity, floral ginjo aroma that defines the style. The result is a well-balanced Daiginjo with a clean, light, and dry character in the Tanrei style, yet with a solid backbone at an alcohol content of 16%. Freshly pressed namazake is stored cold without further processing and pasteurized only once (ikkai hiire). On the palate, a fresh ginjo aroma spreads across the mouth.
