Daina Chokarakuchi is an extra-dry junmai at +10 on the sake meter, but it is far more than simply dry. Brewed with Nasu-grown Gohyakumangoku polished to 60% and Association No. 7 yeast, it has a rounded, mellow rice character and a soft texture, with well-judged acidity that makes it a natural partner for food. The aroma is distinctive, hinting at freshly cooked rice and green grass. The finish is dry and sharp, with a light bitterness and a refreshing lift. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

SMV: +10

About the brewery

Kikunosato Shuzo has brewed at Otawara in northern Tochigi since 1866, on the Nasunogahara plain, a long-established rice-growing area with abundant groundwater fed by the Naka River. It is a small brewery of around 800 koku, with four full-time staff and seasonal hands brewing from mid-September to mid-May. Its revival since 2004 has been built on the Daina label, which now leads a range that also includes plum and yuzu liqueurs.
