Koshitsukano Aisakura Junmai Daiginjo Premium Sake 720ml Koshitsukano

Aiyama, nicknamed the 'Diamond of Sake Rice', is a rare strain born from crossbreeding the highest quality sake rice Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, and its limited supply makes it a genuinely sought-after ingredient for premium sake production. Elegant ginjo-style fragrance opens the profile with ripe fruit notes such as melon and gentle banana, joined by soft floral hints and the pure sweetness of rice itself, developing into a rich, refreshing palate with a slight lingering acidity, closing clean thanks to the exacting 35% polishing ratio that enhances both richness and overall flavour intensity.
