Description

Kikusui Junmai is a classic expression made with 100% Japanese rice from Niigata, a region renowned for its high-quality rice. Reflecting the traditional Junmai style, it uses rice and water as its foundation, with the rice polished to 70% to preserve more of its grain-derived character. Kikusui’s craftsmanship brings together rich flavor and balanced acidity, creating a full yet approachable profile rather than an overly heavy one. Its character develops further when gently warmed, making it a versatile choice for different serving temperatures and dining occasions.

Taste

Highlights rich rice-derived umami, balanced acidity, and a mellow, full-bodied character.

Pairing

A versatile choice for a wide range of cuisines, with gentle warming bringing out greater richness and depth alongside savory dishes.
