Product details
Tamanohikari Tokusen Junmai Ginjo is a distinguished sake from the historic Tamanohikari Brewery, established in 1673 in Kyoto's Fushimi district. Renowned for its commitment to purity and quality, the brewery was among the pioneers in reviving Junmai-style sake, emphasizing rice, water, and koji without additives. Their philosophy, "Good sake comes from good rice," is evident in their meticulous selection and in-house polishing of premium rice varieties like Yamada Nishiki to a 60% polishing ratio. This dedication ensures a sake that embodies tradition and craftsmanship.
The Tokusen Junmai Ginjo offers a harmonious balance of subtle aromas and a clean, umami-rich flavor profile. Its slight acidity accentuates the natural taste of the rice, resulting in a smooth and refined finish. This sake pairs exceptionally well with dishes such as fish, BBQ, and hotpot, making it a versatile choice for various cuisines. Whether enjoyed chilled or slightly warmed, Tamanohikari Tokusen Junmai Ginjo provides a delightful experience that reflects the brewery's centuries-old dedication to excellence.
