Our Take

This is a special bottle. Kikusui Junmai Daiginjo is made from Kikusui rice, which was a nearly extinct rice strain until the company brought it back from no more than 25 remaining seeds.

The effect of using Kikusui rice is a remarkable sake. It produces a distinct pineapple Hi-Chew-like aroma. It has medium body with balanced acidity, and overall dry to off-dry. Recommended to have this served chilled for a fuller body and better integration of these characteristics!
