純米大吟醸 (Junmai Daiginjo) - Feel free to order this type of Japanese sake at any local restaurant. 純米(Junmai) means that special varieties of high quality and expensive rice were used to make sake, which is not even sold or used for eating in regular stores. The inscription 大吟醸 (Daiginjo) indicates that all grains of rice have been polished to at least 50%. The secret is that the closer to the center of the grain used to make sake, the more the subtle fruity aroma and flavor appears in the drink. Some well-known brands of sake 純米大吟醸 are Dassai (獺祭), Hakkaisan (八海山), and Kokuryu (黒龍). These brands are known for their superior quality and exquisite flavor, which attracts sake connoisseurs from all over the world to Japan. We are waiting for you, gourmets!
