BORN made with 100% Fukui rice, unfiltered
This junmai daiginjo is brewed using 100% Fukui-grown Gohyakumangoku, polished to 50%.
Finished unfiltered with an in-house cultivated yeast, it is matured unpasteurised at around −10 °C for about one year, then pasteurised just once before shipping — retaining the rice’s umami while preserving the clean, firm structure associated with Gohyakumangoku.
A clear ginjo aroma and a firm structure from being unfiltered
The aroma is a clear, ginjo-style note. Within the refined character typical of Gohyakumangoku rice sits a firm structure distinctive to unfiltered sake, and the rice’s own character carries through to a clean, clear finish.
Sabae, Fukui — since 1860
