Kumaya Shuzo, An Bizen, Junmai Daiginjo, 720ml

Type: Junmai Daiginjo

Polishing degree: 48%

Rice variant: Omachi

Alcohol percentage: 16%

Given that Omachi's flavor profile leans more toward the earthy, rustic, brewers are less likely to polish this variety to extremes for ginjo or daiginjo sake, styles (too) often associated with fruitiness. A talented brewer, however, knows that beneath the surface rusticity lies enormous layers, which Kumaya shuzo beautifully demonstrates with this Junmai Daiginjo, elegantly and incredibly textured.
