KANKIKU PRAY FOR 24 JUNMAI DAIGINJO 寒菊 Pray for 2024 純米大吟醸 中取り無濾過生原酒 720ML720mL

Brewed by Kankiku Meijo (寒菊銘醸) in Chiba Prefecture, Pray for 2024 (寒菊 Pray for 2024) is a special Junmai Daiginjo Nakadori Muroka Nama Genshu — unfiltered, unpasteurised, and undiluted — released annually as a message of renewal and gratitude.

This sake expresses the brewery’s signature coastal freshness and precision. Brewed from premium sake rice polished to 50%, it delivers radiant aromas of melon, green apple, and white flowers, followed by a juicy, elegant palate with delicate sweetness and clean acidity. The Nakadori (中取り) portion — the purest cut from pressing — ensures refined balance and silky texture, while the Nama Genshu style preserves its vibrant, lively energy.
