Daishichi “Minowamon”
Fukushima prefecture
Aged and elegant
This junmai daiginjo sake has the honor of being the first sake to be produced using Daishichi’s super-flat rice polishing technique, as well as earning the highest praise at the Vinexpo. Daishichi “Minowamon” is aged to bring elegance and unwavering depth to the sake. A rich umami aroma prepares you for the silky, sweet rice flavor that fades into a lingering finish. It’s quite a delight!
