Kanto no Hana Prosperity Junmai Daiginjo Sake – NV (720ml)

Description

Importer’s Notes:

ABOUT
Most Junmai Daiginjo tastes pretty similar because they use the same rice grown in the same region. Instead, Hijiri uses only the best table rice for the Kanto no Hana brand. Yup, theyuse a prized eating rice grown just a mile away calledHitomebore. The rice used for the koji is polished to just 35%remaining the most of any table rice! Theres lots of umamiand complexity left though to support a highly aromaticcompetition style yeast. Put it all together and the Prosperitypunches way above its price.

SERVING
Chilled or cool in a white wine stem. Just fine on its own orwith salads, white fish, sushi.

BREWERY
Founded in 1841, Hijiri uses local spring water and onlycontract grown rice. The Kanto no Hana brand is a reference tothe beautiful Maebashi Castle, given by the Shogun to thewarriors of Gunma. Uniquely, all the Kanta no Hana sake startwith 35% polished Hitomebore table rice then use varyingpolish rates and yeasts to achieve different styles. TheirHijirizm brand eschews polishing classifications altogether!
