About
This junmai ginjo is made with Omachi, a popular sake rice known as Japan's oldest. It combines the distinctive flavor of junmai sake, in which the life of each individual grain of rice comes through, with the transparent, rich aroma characteristic of ginjo sake. It is a sake that could be called a work of art. Awarded the Excellence Prize (yutosho) in the ginjo category at the 4th Omachi Summit Judging Competition in 2012 (Heisei 24).
