Junmai Daiginjo Chokirokunen Yukimukae

Yamada Nishiki polished to 35% is aged for six years at this historic Yonezawa brewery to produce this junmai daiginjo, representing the most intensive expression of the Yukimukae label. The six-year aging period rounds the sake's texture while preserving the elegant daiginjo character, and the name Yukimukae refers to a phenomenon in the Yonezawa Basin where spiders spin silken threads skyward on the clear days just before the first snow.
