Yamada Nishiki, polished to 38%
BORN Tokusen Junmai-Daiginjo is a junmai daiginjo made with contract-grown Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo’s Special A districts, with a rice-polishing ratio of 38%. The producer describes a blend of sake matured at or below 0°C for up to one to two years.
Grapefruit aromas, a smooth and layered structure
Aromas of grapefruit, flowers, chestnut and vanilla accompany a smooth mouthfeel and moderate umami. The clarity from high-milled rice carries through to a refined, precise finish.
Sabae, Fukui — since 1860
