Yoshi No Gawa "MINAMO" Junmai Daiginjo, 720ml

"MINAMO" is a proprietary brand name meaning "water’s surface," evoking an image of purity and clarity.

Brewed by Yoshinogawa in Niigata Prefecture, this Junmai Daiginjo is a pure rice sake with no added brewer's alcohol. It is made from Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 40%, fermented with a brewery-proprietary yeast in stainless steel tanks, and aged several months before release. It has 15% alcohol, an SMV of +2 (neutral to slightly dry), acidity of 1.3, and is crafted under the guidance of a Toji from the Echigo Toji guild. Recommended serving temperature is chilled, around 10°C.

Tasting Note:

Aromas are intense and elegantly fruity, presenting specific notes of Asian pear, white peach, and a hint of lychee. The palate is full and smooth with a rich umami presence, offering flavors of melon and a subtle, clean rice character. The overall impression is one of powerful balance, characterized by a soft texture and a long, clean finish.
