Product details
Introducing the Ozeki Platinum Junmai Daiginjo 2023 Limited Edition—a masterful expression of Ozeki Sake’s dedication to tradition and innovation. Crafted in Hollister, California, this sake is the first Junmai Daiginjo of the 2023 brewing season, utilizing locally grown rice polished to 50%. Unlike the regular Platinum, this limited edition is bottled within a week after filtration with minimal storage time, and undergoes only a single heat treatment (nama-chozo), resulting in a fresher, more fragrant profile. Brewmaster Kenta Horie, whose portrait graces the label, emphasizes the meticulous care and precision behind this creation, aiming to deliver a sake that embodies the harmony of craftsmanship and flavor.
On the palate, the Platinum Limited Edition 2023 offers a symphony of peach, pear, and pineapple notes, culminating in a fruity, smooth, and rich experience. With a Sake Meter Value of +1.2, an acidity of 1.45, and an alcohol content of 15%, it strikes a balanced profile that is best enjoyed chilled in a wine glass to fully appreciate its delicate nuances. This sake pairs exquisitely with smoked salmon, prosciutto, or a refreshing apple sorbet, making it a versatile companion for both savory and sweet dishes. Whether you're a seasoned sake enthusiast or new to the world of Japanese rice wine, the Ozeki Platinum Junmai Daiginjo 2023 Limited Edition offers a unique and memorable tasting experience.
