Toko Pure Rice

This Junmai sake from the snowy Yamagata region creates with its soft, mild, and pure rice flavor, a sense of tranquility with every sip. Straightforward yet full-bodied and rich in umami, it's an easy sake to pair with many dishes. Light flavors of banana, tropical fruits, and chestnut combine on the palate with the round umami of freshly steamed rice. The soft texture is pleasant, and the finish is well-balanced and long. Served warm, this sake is exceptionally smooth.

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...
