Description
A junmai daiginjo from Kojima Sohonten's Retsu series in Yamagata, representing the flagship tier of this purity-focused brand. Daiginjo standards require rice polished to at least 50%, and the junmai designation means no distilled alcohol is added, relying solely on rice, water, koji, and yeast. Yamagata's cool climate and clean water support the slow, precise fermentation that this level of sake demands.
