Polished to
30%
This is the brewery's top Junmai Daiginjo with a rice polishing ratio of 30%, surpassing Ichibanso Junmai Daiginjo, which has long reigned as the pinnacle of Toyo Bijin. All Yamadanishiki that is used is produced locally in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This sake is an embodiment of what Mr. Sumikawa envisioned when he said the ideal sake is simply "water that has passed through rice,". The graceful and elegant aroma and the bewitching taste are the result of the techniques that have elevated Toyo Bijin to a higher level.
