Sake Selection 2018 Junmai Ginjo Division Bronze
Made with only "Kinmonnishiki", a brewing rice grown only in Nagano Prefecture, ground down to 55% of its original size and paired with the high quality spring water of Minami Alps and Nagano yeast. This Junmai Ginjo is called "Imanishiki Kinmonnishiki Junmai-ginjo, undiluted". Kinmonnishiki is a rare variety known as phantom rice for its scarcity, and it has a distinctive aroma and savory flavor. Using carefully-selected local Nagano Prefecture ingredients, this sake is brewed using the traditional "Sakafuneshibori" method, a time-consuming process consisting of carefully lining up sake-making bags in sake casks and slowly and gently applying pressure to squeeze of the liquid. The junmai ginjo brewed in this way has a distinctive full-bodied flavor from the Kinmonnishiki, featuring complex savory notes which spread throughout your mouth before coming together. At the "Kura Master" Japanese sake competition, the top global authority on this spirit, this was one of just 34 brands were selected for the platinum award (the highest award) in the Junmai category out of 720 total in the 2019 contest. This product has also received numerous other international awards, and its high quality as a Junmai Ginjo has been globally recognized as top level.
