Tasting Notes

Made exclusively from Grade A Yamada Nishiki rice from Tojo, one of the most esteemed sake rice varieties, Gikyo 30 Junmai Ginjo is a sake that values depth over labels. Although its 30% rice polishing ratio exceeds the standards for Daiginjo, the brewery chooses to maintain the Ginjo classification, embracing a philosophy that prioritizes substance over prestige.

This sake is bottle-aged at cold temperatures, allowing flavors to fully settle and deepen. The result is a full-bodied, powerfully expressive profile, with rich notes of hazelnut, caramel, and fresh green herbs. A structured yet smooth mouthfeel leads to a long, definitive finish, making it a bold and complex choice for those seeking a sake with presence and character.

With its rich umami, deep nutty sweetness, and refined structure, Gikyo '30' Junmai Ginjo is a sake for those who appreciate intensity and complexity in their glass, delivering a truly memorable drinking experience.
