Description

Kikusui Junmai Daiginjo showcases the remarkable story of Kikusui Rice, a rare Niigata rice variety that was revived from just 25 grains in the 1990s through the dedication of local agricultural specialists, Kikusui, and their families. This distinctive rice became the foundation for an expression created to honor its rarity and the years of effort behind its revival. Carefully crafted to bring out the character of Kikusui Rice, it offers a refined Junmai Daiginjo style with a smooth, dry profile, elegant aromatic character, and rich depth. Best appreciated slightly chilled, it represents Kikusui’s commitment to preserving a unique part of Niigata’s agricultural heritage.

Taste

Reveals an elegant aroma with a smooth, dry character and rich, rounded flavor.

Pairing

Ideal for accompanying refined Japanese cuisine, seafood, and special-occasion dishes, particularly when served slightly chilled to highlight its balanced character.
