Product details
Sawanohana Shiro Wo Tsumugu Junmai Daiginjo is a refined expression crafted by Banno Sake Brewery in Nagano, using 100% locally associated Miyama Nishiki rice polished to 40%. Its name, “Shiro Wo Tsumugu,” evokes the idea of weaving together purity and a bright, elegant character, while the carefully polished rice provides a delicate foundation for the finished expression. Created with a focus on precision and clarity, this Junmai Daiginjo highlights the character of Miyama Nishiki and the distinctive qualities of Sawanohana, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a polished and contemporary Japanese expression.
The palate presents refreshing fruit aromas reminiscent of white peach, muscat, and fresh melon, followed by an elegant sweetness likened to melted acacia honey, with a lively, crackling sensation adding brightness to the experience. For food pairing, enjoy it with bamboo shoots tossed with young leaf buds and miso, or steamed whole Isaki (grunt) prepared in a Chinese-style presentation.
