Description

Kinmon Nishiki, the revived 'phantom sake rice' of Nagano grown under contract in Kijimadaira Village, is milled all the way to 39% for this daiginjo. Kinmon Nishiki, a cross of Takanishiki and Yamada Nishiki developed in 1964, fell out of cultivation due to growing difficulty and has been reclaimed in recent decades; the brewery draws out its characteristic umami depth beneath a gorgeous, clean aroma.
