Description

A luxurious pure rice Daiginjo Sake using only Yamada Nishiki, which has been polished to 35 % for both koji rice and rice. Blue apples and bunanas feel a banana. It features a refreshing acidity, a solid sweetness, and a deep flavor. It is recommended to drink or drink as it is. The elegant Ginjo incense wraps the richness peculiar to Yamada Nishiki and disappears in the back of the throat as a rich flavor. The total design of the exterior from label to bottle is by the calligrapher Tan Yuki Ogino, who is also famous for its Suntory whiskey "Hibiki". ★ "Kura Master 2021" Junmai Daiginjo Sake Division Platinum Award ★ "International Wine Challenge 2021" SAKE Division / Junmai Ginjo Division Recommended Sake
