Product details
Okuizumo Nita-mai Junmai Daiginjo is a masterpiece of sake craftsmanship, created using 100% Nita-mai Koshihikari rice, renowned as one of Japan’s finest rice varieties. Grown in the fertile lands of Okuizumo, a region celebrated for its pristine water and rich agricultural traditions, this sake embodies the unique terroir of Shimane Prefecture. The aroma is an enchanting blend of overripe lychee and dried flowers, while the palate reveals a full-bodied yet graceful profile, enhanced by a silky texture and intricate layers of flavor. Best enjoyed chilled, this Junmai Daiginjo delivers a clean, refreshing finish, making it an exceptional pairing for a wide variety of dishes.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Okuizumo Nita-mai Junmai Daiginjo reflects the uncompromising dedication of its young Izumo toji (master brewer) and team. The brewing process begins with in-house polishing of locally sourced rice to precise specifications, ensuring optimal quality. The sake is steamed using the "outside firm, inside soft" technique, preserving the grain’s integrity while maximizing flavor extraction. Fermentation takes place under carefully controlled conditions, fostering a harmonious interaction between the rice, water, and yeast. The result is a sake that not only pays homage to the rich sake-making heritage of Okuizumo but also exemplifies modern elegance and sophistication. With its natural light amber hue, born of minimal filtration, this sake is a true testament to the art of Japanese brewing.
