A delicate, elegant fragrance with a bright, lively apple-like aroma introduces this Junmai Daiginjo, made with Yamada Nishiki polished to 50%. The texture is very gentle; fruity, juicy notes open on the palate, followed by a good amount of umami and a refreshing dryness, while a soft, lingering sweetness harmonises with the smooth flavour. Serve chilled, ideally as an aperitif just before a meal.

About the brewery

Yamaguchi Shuzojo was founded in 1832 at Imayama in Kitano-cho, Kurume, on the Chikugo plain in Fukuoka, and draws on the setting of the Chikugo River and its fertile farmland. Its Niwa no Uguisu brand covers both sake and plum liqueur. The brewery's stated philosophy is to carry forward inherited technique while creating new value and making drinks suited to contemporary occasions.

爽やかなりんご系の香りと軽い甘味、やさしい酸味が調和したフレッシュな純米大吟醸酒です。 綺麗で上品でありながら、心地よい酸味が響き渡るお酒で、舌の上をなめらかに滑り落ちるジューシーでフルーティーな香味が口の中に広がります。フレッシュな味わいを楽しんでいただくため、冷やして（8～12℃）お飲みいただくのがお勧めです。
