Product details
Kankiku Gohyakumangoku 50 Limited Edition Junmai Daiginjo is a testament to the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Kankiku Meijo, a brewery established in 1883 near the scenic Kujukuri Beach in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. This sake is part of the "Rice of Chiba" (ROC) series, an initiative aimed at showcasing the exceptional quality of locally grown rice. Utilizing 100% Chiba-cultivated Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 50%, the brewery employs a long-term, low-temperature fermentation process to extract the rice's delicate flavors. The sake is then direct-drawn and bottled without filtration or dilution, preserving its natural effervescence and capturing the essence of the region's terroir.
Upon tasting, the Gohyakumangoku 50 reveals a gentle, natural sparkle that dances on the palate, delivering a luscious bouquet of fruity aromas reminiscent of pears. Its clean acidity and crisp finish make it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes, particularly fresh seafood, light appetizers, and delicate cheeses. Serving it chilled in a champagne or wine glass enhances its effervescent character, offering a unique and refreshing experience. This limited edition sake, often challenging to procure even within Japan, embodies the dedication and passion of Kankiku Meijo's brewers, making it a prized addition to any connoisseur's collection.
