Product details
Ippongi Kotona Egushi Daiginjo Sake is a meticulously crafted premium sake that embodies elegance and refinement. Made with Fukui’s prized sake rice, Sakahomare, polished to an impressive 30%, it highlights purity and sophistication. The koji used in its production is prepared through the traditional and labor-intensive futa-koji tray method, ensuring precise flavor development. Following fermentation, the sake mash is gently pressed using a traditional fune press, a process that applies minimal pressure to preserve clarity, aroma, and flavor. This gentle pressing technique produces a sake with a smooth, rounded texture and a delicate finish, offering an experience that is both luxurious and approachable. Ideal for celebrations, dinner gatherings, or as a thoughtful gift, Kotona Egushi brings premium sake within reach for both enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
The name Kotona Egushi pays homage to Japan’s rich cultural heritage, drawing inspiration from the Kojiki, the country’s oldest historical text. It references two ancient sakes—Kotonagushi, symbolizing protection and peace, and Egushi, representing joy and delight—capturing the spirit of harmony and happiness in every sip. Its award-winning profile, recognized with multiple gold medals, reflects its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. For the best tasting experience, this sake should be served between 10–20°C (50–68°F) and enjoyed in a wine glass to allow its delicate aromas and flavors to shine. Whether shared with friends or savored in quiet moments, Kotona Egushi Daiginjo promises a timeless and elegant journey into Japan’s sake-making tradition.
