Tasting Notes: Sometimes more can be achieved with less. It seems to be the case with SAKARI Junmai Daiginjo: by polishing off half of the rice grain, the true and rich taste of rice can come through. Full-bodied and mellow, with the robust flavor of rice and a tropical fruity aroma (Ginjo aroma) bursting with freshness. The aroma is created using Nihon Sakari's original yeast and the rich flavors and texture come from leaving this sake unpasteurized. Vegetarian, Gluten-free, and Preservative-free!
