Product details
Yamagata Masamune Kikujin Junmai Daiginjo Sake is a flagship sake crafted with Yamada Nishiki rice, often referred to as the "king of sake rice," sourced from Akitsu, one of the most renowned regions for its cultivation. This Junmai Daiginjo is brewed using the traditional Kimoto method, resulting in a sake that embodies the rich structure and multidimensional flavors characteristic of Yamada Nishiki. Each sip offers a profound appreciation of the rice’s exceptional quality, presenting a bold yet elegant flavor profile that captures the essence of premium craftsmanship.
The name “Kikujin” pays homage to the regal green color historically reserved for the Japanese imperial family and draws inspiration from the connection between koji mold, integral to sake brewing, and its noble heritage. The noble naming reflects the brewery's deep respect for the Akitsu-grown Yamada Nishiki rice used in this exquisite sake. Yamagata Masamune Kikujin delivers a refined, structured tasting experience, celebrating the perfect harmony of tradition, innovation, and the pinnacle of sake rice excellence.
