About

Polishing the rice to a high degree results in a clean, refined flavor free of unwanted off-notes, allowing the gentle natural sweetness of the rice to come through. The vivid, elegant aroma characteristic of daiginjo is created through slow fermentation at low temperatures. The brewery's craftsmanship is also evident in the crisp, clean finish. You may pour it into a glass and enjoy the aroma. It is recommended lightly chilled or at room temperature.
