【Shichisui Junmai Ginjo 55 Aiyama】

An evolving sake that doesn't just stop at winning gold.

Many gold medal-winning sakes at the National New Sake Appraisal are typically Daiginjo-class, made with Yamada Nishiki rice polished to around 30%.
However, this sake dared to win a gold medal as a Junmai Ginjo with a 55% polishing ratio. It was highly acclaimed in the sake brewing industry as an unprecedented achievement that defied conventional wisdom.

Following last year's award, it has been refined to achieve even greater perfection.
A gentle aroma reminiscent of juicy green apples wafts from the glass, with an elegant sweetness, the umami of rice, and a light, clear acidity harmonizing pleasantly.

A highly accomplished flavor that combines drinkability with high quality.
Please enjoy the charm of this gold medal-winning sake, earned through its true merit rather than its specifications.
