Product details
Flagship brand Benten was named after the goddess of music and performing arts, Benzaiten (Saraswati), who is one of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune. Located in Yamagata in the northeast, one of the snowiest parts of Japan, the pure snowmelt water adds a luxurious smoothness while the locally developed rice and yeast give floral aromas with rich flavors. “Gokujo” Superior/Reserve Junmai Daiginjo Genshu showcases the achievement of Yamagata Pref. and Dewasansan was created by researchers in Yamagata prefecture to be the pre-eminent rice for the future of Daiginjo sake.
The Sawane astounds the senses from the glass with waves of night-blooming jasmine, freshly picked nectarine, yuzu zest, and freshwater minerality carried on a silken frame. Polished to 35%, this Reserve Daiginjo has a vibrant aroma and crisp dry taste. It's a sake that will elevate any meal or simply the conversation whenever you choose to open it.
