JOURYU Junmai-Daiginjo Limited Quantity

Tatenokawa is a pioneer in contract cultivation in Yamagata Prefecture, has long used the sake rice "Miyama Nishiki" in our sake brewing. This rice, grown by local contracted farmers through "special cultivation" methods involving reduced pesticides and chemical fertilizers, is milled to 40% for brewing.

Miyama Nishiki, generally considered a hard type of rice that doesn't dissolve easily, leading to a less varied flavor profile, was the focus of a new challenge. Utilizing accumulated skills and experience, a sake that balances "clarity" and "rich flavor" was successfully created, drawing out Miyama Nishiki's characteristics while enhancing its umami. This sake features a refined, gentle citrus aroma, a crisp, sharp taste, and a quality acidity that pairs well with meals.
