Kikusakari Daiginjo Sake 720ml is a refined and exquisite expression of one of the highest grades of sake. This sake is brewed following the strict rules of the Daiginjo style, which requires the rice to be polished to remove at least 50% of its original grain, focusing on the purest, starch-rich core. This level of polishing helps to create a sake with a cleaner, lighter and more aromatic flavor profile. Kikusakari Daiginjo Sake is produced in small batches to ensure maximum attention to detail and quality. The selected rice is carefully polished and then fermented at low temperatures to preserve and enhance the delicate and subtle flavors. Slow and controlled fermentation is crucial to develop the floral and fruity notes characteristic of Daiginjo sakes.
