Kiminoi Junmai Daiginjo Eshin Gohyakumangoku Unfiltered 1 degree pasteurization 720ml

This special Junmai Daiginjo sake is made using 100% of Niigata Prefecture's signature sake-making rice variety, "Gohyakumangoku," and is carefully brewed using Kiminoi Shuzo's unique "brewery-attached lactic acid bacteria preparation" method. In order to lock in the freshly pressed flavor in the bottle, it is not filtered at all and is pasteurized only once (bottle-warming pasteurization), bringing out the natural characteristics of the rice to the fullest.

When poured into a glass, the clear transparency of Gohyakumangoku rice and the elegant aroma of Junmai Daiginjo gently rise up. When you put it in your mouth, it has a refreshing and light mouthfeel, and the full-bodied, deep flavor that is unique to brewed with lactic acid bacteria in the brewery spreads richly. The balance of sweetness and acidity is exquisite, and while it has a soft mouthfeel, it has a crisp aftertaste that leaves a pleasant lingering aftertaste.

One of the attractions of this sake is its versatility, which means it can be paired with any food. Its well-balanced flavor pairs well with a variety of dishes, from delicate Japanese to Western cuisine, and will add color to your dinner table. Some sakes are also aged at low temperatures in snow rooms, which further enhances the smoothness of the mouthfeel and the depth of flavor, resulting in a complex yet easy-to-drink finish.

The name "Eshin" comes from Eshinni, the wife of Saint Shinran, a great man with ties to the local area, and speaks to the history and pride of Kiminoi Sake Brewery. This rare bottle, available only at a limited number of stores, is a true masterpiece that allows you to fully experience the depth of Japanese sake.
