MICHI ZAKURA JUNMAI DAIGINJO SUISEI 45 三千櫻 純米大吟釀 彗星45 720ml

Brewed by Michi Zakura Shuzo (三千櫻酒造), now based in Higashikawa, Hokkaido, Michi Zakura Junmai Daiginjo “Suisei 45” (彗星 45) is a beautiful tribute to Hokkaido’s unique terroir and the region’s signature rice variety Suisei (彗星) — meaning “comet.”

Polished to 45 %, this Junmai Daiginjo is light yet profound, radiating a clean, refined sweetness balanced with vivid acidity. Expect gentle aromas of white peach, pear, and fresh herbs, followed by a silky mouthfeel and a precise, crisp finish. Every sip reflects Michi Zakura’s artisanal precision and Hokkaido’s icy fresh air.
