A Daiginjo from Kaiun, brewed with Yamada Nishiki polished to 40% and Shizuoka yeast. The crisp, clean scent invites you to breathe deeply. On the palate it is well rounded, with a fine balance of sweetness, dryness and acidity, and fresh, green notes. Delicate, carefully seasoned dishes complement its precise structure best. Serve chilled.

About the brewery

Doi Shuzojo was founded in Kakegawa, Shizuoka, in 1872 by Yaichi Doi, and the family marked its 150th anniversary in 2022. The house has long relied on Noto toji craftsmanship and its own in-house rice milling. Its Kaiun label favours restrained sweetness and understated aromatics, aiming for sake that stays interesting through a whole meal rather than overwhelming it.

開運 大吟醸

すっきりとした華やいだ香りです。軽やかで透明感のある味で、シャープな切れ味が特徴です。 初め口に触れたときは、少々甘味を感じますがそのうちにこの酒が辛口であることが実感できます。 仕込み水の『高天神城跡の湧水』の恩恵を受けて静岡県を代表する銘酒となりました。
