Koshi No Ajiwai Daiginjo Sake 72cl Koshi No Ajiwai

Koshitsukano Shuzo, a brewery that has crafted sake for around 240 years in Niigata, produces this flagship Daiginjo using home-grown yeast, water drawn from the Agano River and Gohyakumangoku rice, resulting in a genuinely full-bodied expression that retains the rich, strong character of Yamada Nishiki rice, the most celebrated variety for sake brewing. Melon, banana and white flower dominate the aromatic profile, developing into a rich, full-bodied palate with medium acidity that balances the sake's natural sweetness, closing on a long finish that reflects nearly two and a half centuries of continuous brewing tradition.
