An ultra-premium expression that achieves a flawless balance of pristine clarity, rich depth, and delightful rice flavor. Upon tasting, a profound umami gently expands across the palate, resolving into an exquisitely round and lingering finish. Take your time to savor its extraordinary elegance. It is highly recommended to pair with delicate kaiseki dishes and other fine-dining dishes.

Overview

Living up to its name "Kyokugen," which translates to "Extreme" or "Limit," this masterpiece pushes the boundaries of traditional sake brewing. Crafted by the esteemed Tatenokawa Brewery, a historic Yamagata producer dedicated exclusively to Junmai Daiginjo. This sake undergoes a painstakingly slow polishing process. The premium Yamada Nishiki rice grains are milled down to a mere 8% of their original size (approximately 2mm in diameter) to remove all impurities and fats. The result is a luxurious sake of unmatched purity and profound depth, offering collectors and connoisseurs an unforgettable tasting experience.
