Toko Fukurotsuri Drop 18

This highly elegant Junmai Daiginjo from Yamagata was awarded the prestigious IWC Junmai Daiginjo Trophy in 2024. Yuki Megami rice, specially developed for brewing Daiginjo sake, is carefully polished to 18%, illuminating the purity and rich sweetness of this esteemed rice variety. 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, pineapple, mango, tropcial flowers, and a hint of spice and rice cake. This is all rounded out by a delicate and silky texture with pineapple and mango notes and a long and elegant finish.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
