Product details
Denshin Double Moon Junmai Daiginjo is a limited-edition sake from Ippongi Kubohonten, a distinguished brewery in Katsuyama, Fukui Prefecture, Japan. Established in 1902, Ippongi Kubohonten is renowned for its dedication to traditional brewing techniques and its commitment to quality. The name "Double Moon" is inspired by the Chinese character 朋, symbolizing both "treasure" and "close friend," reflecting the harmonious blend of two premium rice varieties: Yamadanishiki, known as the "king of sake rice," and Sakahomare, a prized local rice from Fukui celebrated for its excellent solubility. This fusion results in a sake that embodies the brewery's philosophy of creating a beautiful new flavor through the collaboration of these two high-quality rice varieties.
Crafted with meticulous attention, Denshin Double Moon boasts a rice polishing ratio of 30%, allowing for a refined and elegant profile. The sake presents a bouquet of juicy and vibrant fruit aromas, including pear, mango, peach, and banana. On the palate, it offers a full, velvety texture with a delicate sweetness that spreads in the mouth, culminating in a mellow aftertaste that lingers pleasantly. To fully appreciate its nuanced flavors and aromas, it is recommended to serve this sake slightly chilled, between 5–15°C (41–59°F), in a wine glass. Allowing the sake to warm slightly by gently swirling the glass enhances its aromatic complexity. Denshin Double Moon pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as lobster, sea bream, or sea bass, complementing their sweetness and tenderness.
