This Junmai Daiginjo, which has rarely been available in Japan since the devastating 2013 landslide disaster, is back in limited quantities and was served at the Japan-Russia summit meeting held in Yamaguchi Prefecture at the end of 2016. The clear taste and elegant, sparkling ginjo aroma are produced by polishing up to 40% Yamada-Nishiki and fermenting at a low temperature for a long period of time. It is a Junmai Daiginjo that truly lives up to its name, Ichiban.
