What is Tatenokawa Junmai Daiginjoshu "Komyo"?

This Junmai Daiginjoshu achieves a rice polishing ratio of 1%, something that no other brewery had been able to achieve at the time of its release in the history of Japanese sake. It is the finest Junmai Daiginjoshu, made by polishing Yamadanishiki rice, which is soft and difficult to polish, to a diameter of 1mm over a period of about two and a half months.

Even when aged in the refrigerator, the sake will easily maintain its quality for three to five years, and the flavor will become mellower as it ages, so you can enjoy the taste changing over time.

It has a clear, refined and elegant taste, but also has a strong umami and sweetness of rice.

Reviews of Tatenokawa Junmai Daiginjoshu "Komyo"

"I was lucky enough to be able to try it. I often drink sake, but when I get to this point, I realize it's on a whole different level. Not only was it delicious the moment I put it in my mouth, but the aftertaste was also pleasant, and I saw the true essence of the finest sake. To be honest, I was skeptical before I tried it, but I was reminded of the high level of skill of Tatenokawa Sake Brewery." (Man/50s)

”The top note is a gentle yet pleasant pear-like aroma. After a little while, it opens up and a pine-like aroma emerges. When you put it in your mouth, it is surprisingly sweet and delicious. There is almost no acidity to it, and after it slides in without resistance, it has a dry, crisp finish. This is definitely a great sake. (Man/40s)
