Description
This top-scoring sake was the winner of the London International Wine Challenge 2008.
This has the delicate flowering-meadow aroma profile characteristic of a Daiginjo sake that has been crafted through a slow fermentation process of 26 days at a low temperature of 10ºC or less. After the addition of the Koji enzyme, a type of yeast called Ogawa is also added to the rice in order to complete its fermentation and to add a fruity spectrum of tropical flavours typical of this breed of Japanese yeast.
The rice for this Daiginjo has been polished to a grade where just 45% of the original grain was left, making it a light bodied sake with a rounded palate. Best enjoyed with light appetizers or by itself would be amazing too!

About this drink
Dewazakura Sake Brewery
There are thousands of saké breweries in Japan and Dewasakura is located in Yamagata prefecture, and is one of the most prestigious. It was one of the first to seek to introduce a cool fermentation process with the aim of creating a delicate, refined product which could be drunk chilled. An effusive flowery bouquet is the unmistakable footprint of sakes from the Dewazakura Brewery in Yamagata Prefecture. Light, fragrant and delicious, the brewery’s ginjo labels are especially popular in Japan. Often called “winedrinkers’
