Daiginjo
Daiginjo requires a rice polishing ratio of at least 50%. Unlike junmai daiginjo, daiginjo sake utilizes brewer’s alcohol to achieve a lighter taste or to enhance the aroma. But the two sake categories are similar in that they can be enjoyed on their own or paired with light dishes. Any difference in price between daiginjo and junmai daiginjo sake is usually a result of the rice polishing ratio; the more rice is milled away, the more expensive the sake.
Some examples of excellent daiginjo sake include the light and fruity Kamotsuru “Tokusei Gold,” Japan's first-ever daiginjo. Another premium choice is Yuki no Bosha “Kachou Gesseki” Morning Flower, Evening Moon, a small-batch, competition-grade sake that has flourished in the U.S. If you’re on the hunt for a bottle that’s more affordable, Konteki ”Tears of Dawn” is a fan favorite, both because of its smoothness and its old-school-style bottle.
