Product details
Hailing from Izumo, the legendary birthplace of sake in Shimane Prefecture, Izumo Fuji Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo is a masterpiece deeply rooted in tradition and folklore. Crafted near the revered Saka Shrine, which has celebrated the art of brewing for over a millennium, this sake pays homage to the rich history of Izumo, where tales of deities, serpents, and heroic deeds intertwine with the origins of Japanese sake. Each bottle embodies the spirit of this heritage, blending ancient brewing methods with the profound care of fourth-generation Toji, Toshiaki Imaoka.
Brewed using the traditional Kimoto method, this Junmai Daiginjo embraces a labor-intensive process that imparts layers of depth and complexity. Made exclusively with Sakanishiki rice, a unique variety developed in Shimane, the sake showcases the craftsmanship and expertise required to perfect its light umami, bright acidity, and clean, soft finish. Best enjoyed chilled, this sake is an elegant reflection of its origins—an exquisite balance of historical reverence and modern artistry, perfect for savoring on special occasions or pairing with fine cuisine.
