Description
Kankoubai Junmai Daiginjo 40% from Kankobai Shuzo in Mie is polished to just 40% of the original grain weight, removing 60% of the outer rice layers to concentrate the purest starch for fermentation. This extreme polishing level results in a particularly translucent, delicate sake with refined aromatics and a long, clean finish that exemplifies high-end daiginjo craftsmanship.
