Kizashi Junmai Daiginjo

伯楽星  Kizashi 純米大吟醸 

Launched in 2015 in collaboration with contemporary artists. When rice is highly polished, it becomes extremely difficult to cultivate koji, making it harder to extract the umami derived from koji. KIZASHI was successful in extracting 1.5 times the umami than Zankyo Super 7 which also has a 7% rice polishing ratio.
Kizashi is brewed so its proportion of residual sugar falls in between that of Niizawa and Zankyo Super 7. This will age beautifully when stored in a refrigerator. Limited to 1000 bottles per year.
