Product details
Kunimare Kitano Kirameki Junmai Daiginjo is an elegant expression crafted in Hokkaido using 100% Yamada Nishiki rice, one of Japan’s most respected premium rice varieties. Produced in the Nanbu Toji tradition, this junmai daiginjo reflects a dedication to precision, balance, and refined craftsmanship. Kunimare combines generations of expertise with carefully selected ingredients to create a release that showcases both purity and sophistication. Graceful and composed, Kitano Kirameki highlights the harmony between rice character and delicate aromatics, offering a polished expression that exemplifies the quality and craftsmanship associated with Hokkaido’s northern brewing heritage.
On the palate, Kunimare Kitano Kirameki Junmai Daiginjo opens with expressive aromas of tropical fruit, pear, clementine, raspberry, and white cherry skin. A creamy texture carries fresh orchard fruit notes and pronounced minerality across the palate, creating a profile that is both elegant and well-structured. The experience begins with gentle fruit and rice-driven character before transitioning into a drier, more defined finish with satisfying depth. Food pairing suggestions include sashimi, sushi, steamed shellfish, grilled white fish, carpaccio, and delicately prepared seafood dishes that complement its refined texture and graceful balance.
