About
Carefully selected Yume Sasara rice grown in Tochigi Prefecture is brewed meticulously with the renowned spring water of Nikko. Rich in flavor and aroma, Nikkoji opens with a gentle, pleasing aroma when first poured (uwadachi-ka), and then cleanly fades away. This junmai ginjo carries a subtle, noble fragrance and is an excellent food-pairing sake (shokuchu-shu) that enhances the flavors of a wide variety of dishes.
