Product details
Niizawa Sake Brewery, renowned for its dedication to pushing the boundaries of sake craftsmanship, presents the Reikyo Absolute 0 Junmai Daiginjo—a testament to the brewery's relentless pursuit of perfection. In 2018, after an arduous 5,297-hour polishing process, they achieved an unprecedented rice polishing ratio of 0.85%, utilizing only the remaining 0.85% of the rice grain for brewing. This remarkable feat led to the sake being labeled with a "0% polishing ratio," a first in Japan's history, symbolizing the brewery's commitment to innovation and excellence. Encased in a vermilion-colored box crafted by Tosa Kumiko artisans, each package is meticulously handmade, with only three produced per day, underscoring the exclusivity of this sake. With a limited annual production of just 999 bottles worldwide, the Reikyo Absolute 0 is a rare gem in the world of sake.
The Reikyo Absolute 0 Junmai Daiginjo offers a delicate and refined tasting experience, characterized by its subtle sweetness and smooth, clean finish. The extraordinary polishing process results in a sake that is both light and complex, allowing the pure essence of the rice to shine through. This sake pairs exceptionally well with high-quality seafood dishes, such as sashimi and lightly grilled white fish, where its nuanced flavors complement the delicate nature of the cuisine. Additionally, its crisp profile makes it an excellent accompaniment to fine cheeses and light appetizers, enhancing the overall dining experience with its elegance and sophistication.
