Product description

We pursued the harmony of umami, bitterness, and acidity in pure rice sake brewed only with rice and water. Despite being a daiginjo, the aroma is gentle, and we have created a pure rice daiginjo that is not boring with no impurities.

Professional Review

"The nose is filled with a rich and luxurious aroma reminiscent of ripe apple custard and a mild lactic fermentation, like that of a Swiss roll cake. The taste is full of the delicious flavors of rice and grains, such as straw or tatami mats, without any unwanted roughness. A moderate acidity in the finish adds a crispness that pairs well with food. While chilled sake is generally recommended, serving it warm brings out a unique flavor profile that connoisseurs will surely want to try."

Pairing Suggestion: Sashimi, raw oysters, cream pasta, and daifuku (a traditional Japanese sweet)

"The aroma is characterized by the fragrance of grapefruit and lime, harmonized with the sweetness of Yubari melon and the richness of whipped cream. A faint note of white pepper and coriander adds a touch of pungency. The taste is smooth, soft, and elegant in its sweetness. It is a proper junmai daiginjo sake. The recommended temperature range is 5-10℃. Please enjoy it in a small balloon glass."

Pairing Suggestion: Caprese salad with tomatoes drizzled with extra virgin olive oil
