Product details
Kozaemon Daiginjo offers a distinctive expression made not from traditional premium rice varieties, but from Asahi no Yume table rice grown locally in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture. The rice is polished to 50%, reflecting Kozaemon’s approach of highlighting the character of locally sourced ingredients while creating an elegant and refined Japanese rice beverage. Produced by Nakashima Brewery, this Daiginjo is characterized by a harmonious relationship between aroma and flavor, with a light, transparent umami and an exceptionally smooth, graceful profile. Its clean and lively character also allows it to be enjoyed across a range of serving temperatures, from chilled to gently warmed.
The aroma features pineapple-like notes, while the palate presents soft, highly transparent rice-derived umami that spreads lightly and smoothly across the palate. Well-integrated aroma and flavor lead to a crisp, clean finish, giving this Daiginjo a light and refreshing character. For food pairing, enjoy it with sashimi, sushi, fresh seafood, grilled white fish, lightly seasoned vegetables, or other delicate Japanese dishes, where its clean profile and gentle umami can complement subtle flavors without overpowering them.
