Our Take

Brewed using black koji (kuro koji) instead of using yellow koji, Ikegame’s junmai daiginjo produces slightly more aciditiy and allows the sake to pair well with different meat dishes. The result is also a soft, delicate and slight fruity finish with a splashy aroma of apples. Enjoyable to have slightly chilled by itself or with food.
