Daiginjo

Daiginjo is a sake variety made with polished rice, water, koji mold, and yeast. It is one of the pure sake varieties in which the rice is polished until at least 50% of the outer layer of the grain is removed. This refined premium sake is typically light, smooth, and incredibly fragrant, and its finesse and mellow flavors are best appreciated when it is served chilled.

It is typically paired with simple and light dishes, and it is often enjoyed as an aperitif or a digestif. Daiginjo sake can be adjusted with the addition of distilled brewer’s alcohol, while the category Junmai Daiginjo does not include any additives.
