Ryujin Tokubetsu Junmai (720ml) 龍神 特別純米

Fine Sake Award 2022

International Wine Challenge Gold

A Gold Medal winner at IWC and the Fine Sake Awards. Due to the Ginjo standard polishing ratio, this Tokubetsu Junmai offers a lovely elegance, the characteristic banana and melon aroma driven by isoamyl acetate is ever so present. On the palate, it provides a solid acidity and rich Junmai character at the same time.

Tokubetsu Junmai can be special for a number of reasons but most clear here is a higher polishing ratio which gives this sake a wonderful elegance while still maintaining the richness and body of a Junmai.
