Product details
Hiro Gold Junmai Daiginjo is an ultra-premium sake inspired by the legacy of Hiroemon Takeda, a revered Samurai and sake connoisseur whose ancient recipe serves as the foundation for this refined creation. Brewed in Niigata—Japan’s premier sake region—Hiro Gold is meticulously crafted by the brewery’s own Toji (Master Brewer) using specially polished rice grown in the fertile Murakami plain. With a rice polishing ratio down to 40%, this Junmai Daiginjo reflects the pinnacle of sake craftsmanship. Hiro Gold honors time-honored tradition while embracing contemporary elegance, designed to be enjoyed chilled or even over ice, offering versatility for today’s diverse palates.
Hiro Gold opens with delicate, modest aromas of cantaloupe and banana, unfolding into a gentle, fruit-driven sweetness on the palate. Its smooth, elegant finish evokes the grace of a refined Japanese lady in kimono—subtle, polished, and memorable. The sake's soft texture and clean umami make it a superb match for refined cuisine such as sashimi, scallops, or chilled soba, while its quiet depth can also complement richer fare like miso-marinated black cod or lightly grilled pork. Whether served at a formal dinner or casual gathering, Hiro Gold brings balance and sophistication to the table.
