Kankiku 505 Junmai Daiginjo Limited Edition (五百万石50 純米大吟醸)

The name Kankiku Gohyakumangoku 50 takes on a literal meaning, where Gohyakumangoku is the type of rice used to produce the sake, and 50 represents the rice polishing rate.

A rice polishing rate of 50 makes this sake a beautiful and exclusive junmai daiginjo. It is made from medium-hard Japanese water, resulting in a drier style of sake due to the minerals in the water.

A refreshing and mild taste, it is also slightly effervescent and moderately acidic.

On the nose there are floral notes of chrysanthemum and osmanthus- akin to the name of the brewery, Kankiku Meijo, where ‘Kankiku’ means ‘winter chrysanthemum’.

This sake is a ‘namazume’, meaning that it is pasteurized prior to tank storage. It is also a ‘muroka’ sake, meaning the sake is unfiltered and then heat-treated once after bottling, making it as close as possible to raw sake. This results in stronger flavors and aromas.

It can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
