Limited production of 1200 bottles
This award-winning limited edition Junmai Daiginjo derives its name from the rice varietal used in its production. Reimei, a nearly forgotten “phantom” table rice variety, is now only grown by one producer in the Hachinohe area. By polishing the grain down to 40%, Reimei 40 Junmai Daiginjo retains the robust umami of table rice sake with a clean, elegant profile. It opens with ripe fruit notes of melon and apple before developing into a velvety rice umami, and a clean crisp finish.
This sake is best served chilled in a wide bowled glass to retain the effervescence and allow the fruity notes to develop fully. Its robustness can complement a wide variety of dishes, from Waldorf salad, sashimi and sushi, to chicken fricassée.
