Description
Junmaishu Kongorikishi is a pure rice junmai sake whose name, referencing the fierce Kongorikishi guardian deities at Buddhist temple gates, suggests a sake with bold, assertive character. Brewed without added alcohol using only rice, water, koji, and yeast, junmai polishing at around 70% retains more of the grain's natural fats and proteins to contribute a fuller, savory, umami-forward body. This style appeals to drinkers who value the broader, more expressive flavor profile associated with traditional junmai brewing.
