Born Tokusen Junmai Daiginjo
BORN TOKUSEN Junmai Daiginjo is a 16% Japanese Junmai Daiginjo sake from Fukui, distinguished by Hyogo Special A Yamada Nishiki polished to 38% and ice-temperature ageing. Made by Kato Kichibee Shoten under the Born brand, it has a grapefruit-like aroma and a structured, smooth, deep style.
Made with contract-grown Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture’s Special A district, the rice is polished to 38%. The producer blends Junmai Daiginjo sake that has been ice-temperature aged below 0°C for one to two years. The official specification lists rice and rice koji as ingredients, with alcohol at 16%.
A clear pour opens with grapefruit-like aromatics. Its defined structure carries savoury umami through a smooth, deep, medium-bodied palate with a satin-like texture. A sharp, long finish provides contrast, keeping the mature, rounded character focused and composed from first sip to last.
Serve BORN TOKUSEN Junmai Daiginjo chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed according to preference. Its defined body and smoothness suit delicate Japanese dishes, while its richness can also accompany dishes prepared with butter, cheese or olive oil.
