Tasting Notes

Named for the goddess of Hakusan Mountain, where the brewery draws its water, Kukurihime represents the pinnacle of sake making at Kikuhime. Each year, the brewery selects a single tank of Daiginjo that they consider the best of the year, setting it aside to age at low temperatures for 10 years to allow the flavor to deepen and evolve. The result is a deeply complex, supple, and dry sake. With aging, the fruity Ginjo aromas develop into intricate scents of incense and sandalwood, while bright flavors are contrasted by a light nuttiness. After 10 years of aging, Kukurihime has reached a beautiful tension but will continue to evolve over time.
