KOZAEMON DAIGINJO 小左衛門 大吟醸 720ml
Brewed by Nakashima Jozo (中島醸造) in Gifu Prefecture, Kozaemon Daiginjo (小左衛門 大吟醸) embodies the brewery’s philosophy of “sake that expresses people and place.” Crafted with meticulous care and patience, it reflects both Gifu’s clear mountain water and Kozaemon’s signature clean, expressive house style.
Made from Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 40%, this Daiginjo delivers delicate aromas of white flowers, pear, and green apple, with a silky, rounded palate that carries gentle sweetness and soft umami. Its finish is crisp and refined, leaving a whisper of floral fruit and serenity — perfect for quiet appreciation or pairing with refined cuisine.
