Tamanohikari “Junmai Daiginjo”
Kyoto prefecture
When you drink Tamanohikari, you drink perfection
Although from a reputable brewery from a very historic region, this is not your typical junmai daiginjo. Are you able to catch the humble expression of “ginjo-ka,” full of white flowers and a hint of anise? On the palate, it has a layered depth from the Omachi rice grown in Bizen-no-kuni in Okayama prefecture — the birthplace of this heirloom strain. This sake will give you a different impression with each sip.

Tamanohikari Brewing Company
Founded in 1673 in the historic Fushimi region, Tamanohikari Brewing Company is known as the premium sake maker for junmai and ginjo types. They were the first to resist the addition of excessive distilled alcohol to survive through the Second World War. They continue the same policy to make sake you will never get tired of, and make your meal even more enjoyable. They pay the utmost attention to their ingredients: the deep, stable water source with which they are blessed, and their carefully grown rice and koji.
