Dai Shichi Kimoto Classic Junmai Sake - 720 ml

Dai Shichi Kimoto Classic Junmai originates from Nihonmatsu City in the Fukushima Prefecture of Japan. Founded in 1752, the Daishichi Sake Brewery has been managed by the Ohta family for ten generations. The brewery is world-renowned for its exclusive adherence to the Kimoto method, a labor-intensive, traditional starter-mash process that relies on natural lactic acid bacteria. Daishichi is also a pioneer of the Super-flat Rice Polishing technique, which removes undesirable proteins more effectively than conventional methods.
