Other Products ｜Banshu Ikkon Kita Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo Sake

This is the daiginjo expression of Banshu Ikkon's contrarian rice: Kita Nishiki, a native Hyogo variety that behaves like the lean sake rices of Niigata and Hokkaido rather than the lush, soft-grained Yamada Nishiki that made the prefecture famous. Milled to 50% and brewed at Sanyohai Brewery (founded 1837) with Kyokai #901 yeast and soft Hyonosen mountain water, it produces exactly what the rice promises — lean, dry, beautifully structured sake — but at daiginjo refinement, and at a price that makes this grade genuinely accessible for everyday dining. Bottled at 15% ABV. Expect aromas of fresh pear and Fuji apple opening into a medium-bodied palate with real vibrancy and energy, light fruitiness, clean umami, a touch of refreshing acidity, and a fleeting cotton-candy delicacy that leaves a memorable impression, finishing clean and defined. Where the brewery's Yamada Nishiki daiginjo is quiet contemplation, this one is precision and lift — exceptionally light and versatile, working before, during, or after a meal. The brewmaster's own pairing recommendations: grilled or roasted chicken, squid, or crab seasoned with black pepper. Serve chilled.
