This highly elegant Junmai Daiginjo from Yamagata received the prestigious IWC Junmai Daiginjo Trophy in 2024. The Yuki Megami rice, specially developed for brewing Daiginjo sake, is carefully polished to 18%. This results in pure taste and rich sweetness of the rice. The mash is pressed using the time-consuming Fukuro-Tsuri method, in which the sake is collected drop by drop. The result is fruity aromas of watermelon, guava and floral elegance, a hint of spices and rice cake. Delicate and silky texture with pineapple and mango notes and a long and elegant finish.
