Product details
Rokkasen Godanjikomi Junmai is a celebrated expression of Rokkasen Brewery’s dedication to preserving traditional sake craftsmanship while embracing modern sensibilities. Located in Yamagata Prefecture, a region famed for its pristine water and premium sake rice, Rokkasen draws inspiration from the six immortal poets, or Rokkasen, channeling a poetic spirit into each brew. Godanjikomi Junmai is crafted using 100% Dewakirari rice, polished to 70%, through an intricate five-step brewing process that enhances umami and depth. This sake embodies the soul of rice, offering an authentic taste that bridges the essence of old-fashioned junmai with a contemporary smoothness. Its accolades, including the coveted GRAND GOLD PRIZE at the Kan Sake Award, along with recognition from the International Wine Challenge and Kura Master, confirm its standing as the "Best of All."
On the palate, Rokkasen Godanjikomi Junmai is rich, mellow, and delightfully sweet, with layers of creamy grain, toasted rice, and subtle nutty undertones that linger elegantly. Its approachable sweetness and full-bodied texture make it an exceptional companion to hearty dishes such as grilled meats, teriyaki, and karaage, where it amplifies umami flavors. It also harmonizes beautifully with desserts, particularly dark chocolate, where its velvety sweetness enhances the bitterness of cocoa. Best enjoyed slightly warmed (kan), this sake truly reveals its depth and soul, offering a nostalgic yet refined drinking experience that pays homage to the enduring beauty of rice.
