Product details
Kagiya Junmai Nama is a Japanese rice-crafted expression produced with Matsuyama Mii rice from Ehime Prefecture and exceptionally pure snowmelt from Mount Ishizuchi, the highest peak in Shikoku. Crafted to highlight the harmony between premium local ingredients and careful craftsmanship, this expression reflects the character of its regional origin through a refined and well-rounded profile. Kagiya is known for emphasizing balance, clarity, and the natural qualities of rice and water, resulting in an elegant expression that showcases the distinctive identity of Ehime while remaining versatile at the table.
On the palate, Kagiya Junmai Nama presents a refined, layered profile with a subtle eggshell off-white appearance. The aroma reveals gentle notes of mint, eucalyptus, and morning glory blossoms, while the palate offers concentrated sweet rice, white pepper, and dried pineapple. Its complexity continues to unfold with each sip, creating a balanced and lingering impression. Simple food pairing suggestions include sashimi, grilled white fish, steamed shellfish, roasted chicken, tofu dishes, and lightly seasoned Japanese cuisine that complements its refined character and evolving depth.
