Kuheiji Kuno Honten "Kurodasho Tako"

An impeccably crisp junmai daiginjo that captures the flavours of its vibrant terroir.

With access to Japan's finest grade sake rice, as well as vastly renowned expertise when it comes to sake brewing, Kuheiji produces its Kuno Kuheiji Honten series of junmai daiginjo as a chance to savour and celebrate the distinctive terroir characteristics that accentuate their elegantly refined sake. Using Yamadanishiki rice specially harvested from the northern Tako area of their Kurodashocho rice fields, the endless sun and rich, fertile soils enjoyed by these grains are what gives this crystal clear junmai daiginjo its astounding minerality and fruity richness. Lusciously highlighting its more floral, zesty and vibrant qualities across its wonderfully mellow palate, sharp notes of citrus, apple, dill and lilac delightfully lift this sake's smooth, buttery mouthfeel giving it a drier, more invigorating finish.

Best enjoyed from a wine glass, swirling this junmai daiginjo unveils the more intricate flavours behind its unique taste, offering smoky hints of camembert and herbs for a more indulgent sip.
