Product details
Kajikawa Junmai Daiginjo is an exquisite sake crafted by Aumont Sake Brewery, nestled in the renowned Niigata Prefecture of Japan. This premium sake is meticulously produced using locally grown Koshi Tanrei rice, polished to 50%, and pure underground water sourced from the Iide Mountains. The brewery employs Kyokai #1801 yeast in the fermentation process, resulting in a sake that embodies both power and elegance. The name "Kajikawa" pays homage to the majestic Kajikawa River, an essential water source for the brewery, reflecting Aumont's deep connection to its local environment.
On the palate, Kajikawa Junmai Daiginjo offers a silky texture accompanied by mild aromas of chestnuts, rice, toast, brown sugar, and raisins. This surprisingly full-bodied sake harmoniously balances these flavors, making it an excellent companion to richer dishes such as tuna and salmon sashimi, roasted duck, and prosciutto. For those seeking a lighter pairing, its delicate notes of melon, pear, and floral undertones also complement sushi, sashimi, or light appetizers. Whether enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, Kajikawa Junmai Daiginjo delivers a refined and memorable tasting experience.
