Jyuyondai Junmai Daiginjo (P45) Nakadori Jomorohaku Banshu Aiyama 15% 1800ml (GB)

Crafted by the legendary Takahashi Shuzo, this ultra-premium expression of Juyondai showcases the brewery’s mastery of balance, elegance, and rice character.

Brewed using Banshu Aiyama rice — often called the “diamond of sake rice”  this Junmai Daiginjo delivers remarkable depth and softness.

• 45 → Rice polished down to 45%

• Nakadori (中取り) → The prized middle cut of pressing, known for purity and balance

• Jomorohaku (上諸白) → Both koji rice and kakemai polished to the same ratio for harmony and refinement
