Tatenokawa Brewing Company brews with expert precision. For this junmai daiginjo, they spend over a month polishing Yamadanishiki rice down to 8% of its original size. It’s brewed in small batches with meticulous monitoring of the temperature of the mash in increments of 0.1 degrees Celsius. “Kyokugen” balances umami with delicate fragrance, expansive mouthfeel and a lingering finish. It’s the ideal choice for kaiseki, fine dining and robust cheeses.
