About

Only a kimoto (traditional yeast-starter method) junmai daiginjo can offer this kind of luxurious flavor. Beneath its elegant aroma lies a supremely refined taste, woven from deep umami and acidity. The rice is Yamada Nishiki, said to be the finest sake rice, grown only in Yoshikawa, Hyogo Prefecture, which is itself regarded as the finest growing region. Traditional methods build depth of flavor, while modern ginjo brewing techniques pursue an elegant sake character.
