Kanto no Hana Prosperity Junmai Daiginjo Sake - NV (720ml)

Importer's Notes:

ABOUT
Most Junmai Daiginjo tastes pretty similar because they use the same rice grown in the same region. Instead, Hijiri uses only the best table rice for the Kanto no Hana brand. Yup, they use a prized eating rice grown just a mile away called Hitomebore. The rice used for the koji is polished to just 35% remaining – the most of any table rice! There’s lots of umami and complexity left though to support a highly aromatic competition style yeast. Put it all together and the Prosperity punches way above its price.

SERVING
Chilled or cool in a white wine stem. Just fine on it’s own or with salads, white fish, sushi.

BREWERY
Founded in 1841, Hijiri uses local spring water and only contract grown rice. The Kanto no Hana brand is a reference to the beautiful Maebashi Castle, given by the Shogun to the warriors of Gunma. Uniquely, all the Kanta no Hana sake start with 35% polished Hitomebore table rice then use varying polish rates and yeasts to achieve different styles. TheirHijirizm brand eschews polishing classifications altogether!
