Product details
Kuncho Next Yamahai Junmai Daiginjo is a refined expression from Kuncho Sake Brewery in Nara, crafted with Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 50%. Its Yamahai character is developed using naturally occurring wild yeast, reflecting the brewery’s traditional approach while highlighting the quality of the carefully polished rice. The result is a distinctive Junmai Daiginjo that combines the depth associated with the Yamahai style with the refined character expected from highly polished Yamada Nishiki, offering an expressive addition to the Kuncho portfolio.
The palate presents a character shaped by the Yamahai preparation and polished Yamada Nishiki, with a refined, structured profile and depth of flavor. For food pairing, enjoy Kuncho Next Yamahai Junmai Daiginjo with grilled Spanish mackerel served with yuzu pepper, rosemary chicken, or semi-hard cheeses.
