Monten Junmai-ginjo Vintage 2017 is a 100 bottle limited edition premium sake produced with 100% Miyama Nishiki brewer's rice cultivated in Kita-Azumino using specialized deep water cultivation methods and polished to 55%. Miyama Nishiki rice is prepared at nine contract farms within a 10km radius of the brewery. This rice is cultivated at higher water depths than standard rice, producing a thicker stalk and less rice yield, but in turn imparting more nutrients to each grain of rice and thickening the size of the inner white granule, making it ideal for special sake brews. The cool and clear underground waters of Japan's Northern Alps are referred to as "Treasure Water" for their quality. Among these, soft Onnamizu water from the Iyari Wetlands, a protected habitat in Nagano Prefecture and originating in thaw water, is used to produce this brew and give it a uniquely mellow flavor profile. This makes it a very rare Japanese sake, limited to 100 bottles, and among the finest in quality when it comes to terroir sakes made from the middle yield. One notable feature is that the date of brewing is listed on the bottle, letting you compare different annual flavor profiles and aging. This junmai ginjo sake, the Gold Label in the Monten line, has a gentle, mellow, and rich body, with a mild yet distinctive aroma and prolonged aftertaste. Pairs very well with all manner of dishes, and will enhance more sour and tart dishes to transform them into umami-rich meals. This luxury sake is a cut above standard high-end sakes that are simply the result of brewing with rice with a low polished rice grain quantity, instead being developed deliberately for pairing with the best cuisine.
The Monten brand explained
This premium sake brand has a very rich and full-bodied umami flavor profile. This terroir sake is produced using clear and cool underground waters from Japan's Northern Alps referred to as "Treasure Water," as well as rice from deep water cultivation, a specialized technique used at contract farms within a 10km radius of the brewery. In this limited 100-bottle sake, the nakadori, or middle yield, of the luxury brew is exclusively used.

Polishing ratio
