Description
Samurai Junmaidaiginjo sake is an excellent, handcrafted sake from Japan that reflects the high art of sake production. Junmai Daiginjo is a premium quality sake made from specially polished rice grains. A large part of the outer layer of the rice grain is removed to expose the starchy core, resulting in a particularly pure and delicate taste. The term “Junmai” means that this sake is made exclusively from rice, water, yeast and koji – a special mold that converts rice starch into fermentable sugar – without any additives. The addition “Daiginjo” refers to the high degree of polishing of the rice, in which at least 50% of the outer layer is removed to produce a particularly pure and complex sake.
