Product information "Kikusui Junmai Daginjo - 720ml"

Kikusui Junmai Daiginjo is the top product the local brewery Kikusui from Nagano makes. The sake is representative of what this brewery stands for. Made with one of the best sake rice varieties grown in Nagano, the Take-nishiki, using small rice farmers in the area of the Kikusui. In the nose immediately strikes you at the complexity, so many different lovely scents from cherries, blackberries to cherry blossom and white roses. The taste is exuberant and full, beautiful layers of different impressions that follow each other in rapid succession. The aftertaste is endless where it is noticeable that the different tones remain the same, the harmony stays untouched.

Enjoy this beautiful sake slightly chilled in the special Sophienwald sake glass.

Delicious to enjoy on the couch with good friends or close family in the evening, but of course also unforgettable with Sushi, Tuna or Salmon Tartare.

Manufacturer "Kikusui Brewery Co., Ltd. (Nagano)"
Iida City, waar de Kikusui brouwerij gevestigd is, ligt in het centrum van Japan, ingeklemd tussen de magnifieke Zuidelijke en Centrale Alpen, waar je vier seizoenen lang kunt genieten van prachtige natuur. De brouwerij brouwt zorgvuldig sake met water en rijst uit dit rijke land. Door gebruik te maken van de vele uren zonneschijn en het verschil in temperatuur tussen dag en nacht in de bergen van het binnenland, verbouwt Kikusui een breed scala aan heerlijk fruit, waaronder appels. De brouwerij produceert ook fruitlikeuren gemaakt van lokaal fruit.
Als enige brouwerij in de districten Iida en Shimoina produceert onze brouwerij onder andere sake, shochu en fruitlikeur. We streven ernaar om hoogwaardige producten te creëren die traditionele sake-brouwtechnieken combineren met moderne apparatuur in een gezegende natuurlijke omgeving.
