Daishichi Minowamon Junmai Daiginjo 15% 720ml

Brewing Style & Profile

• Brewed with the traditional kimoto method, one of the oldest and most labor-intensive fermentation styles in sake brewing, which builds deeper umami and structural complexity.

• Super-flat rice polishing eliminates layers that can cause off-flavors, resulting in a pure, soft, and elegant profile with delicate aroma and fine texture.

• Often described as refined and mellow, with subtle fruit or rice sweetness balanced by clean acidity and a smooth finish.
