Kikuhime BY Daiginjo

Tasting Notes

Unlike Kikuhime’s extended-aged releases, the 'BY' Daiginjo is bottled and released in the same year it is brewed, emphasizing its freshness and vibrancy. This sake presents a complex, bold, and dry profile, offering the signature melon and fruit-forward notes of highly polished sake. However, it sets itself apart with a robust structure and a satisfyingly chewy texture, creating remarkable depth and intrigue in every sip.

While bright and expressive in its youth, this Daiginjo also has the potential to develop richer, earthier tones with age, making it a versatile choice for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring.

Overview

Food Pairings: Pairs beautifully with simple preparations of white fish and vegetables, yet its bold structure allows it to stand up to fatty tuna, pork, and other rich, umami-driven flavors.
