JIKON JUNMAI GINJO SENBON NISHIKI NAMA 而今千本錦火入純米吟釀 720ml

Brewed by Kiyashou Shuzo (木屋正酒造) in Mie Prefecture, Jikon Junmai Ginjo Senbon Nishiki (而今 千本錦 火入) showcases the brewery’s signature balance of precision, freshness, and depth. Jikon is one of Japan’s most sought-after sake labels — admired for its ability to capture “living flavour” in every bottle.

Made with Senbon Nishiki rice (千本錦) — a cross between Yamada Nishiki and Kame no O — this Junmai Ginjo delivers a perfect harmony of richness and clarity. Aromas of pear, melon, and rice blossom lead into a soft, round palate with juicy umami and subtle sweetness. The Hiire (火入) pasteurisation process gently stabilises the sake while preserving its elegant freshness and fine texture.
