Asahi Shuzo Kubota Junmai Daiginjo

Kubota Junmai Daiginjo from Asahi Shuzo is a representative example of the art of Japanese sake brewing. Produced in Niigata Prefecture, a region renowned for its pure waters and high-quality rice, this sake is a true jewel in the Kubota lineup, known for its exceptional quality and attention to detail at every stage of production.

Kubota Junmai Daiginjo is distinguished by its production method using “Gohyakumangoku” rice, known for its excellent suitability for sake production. The rice is polished to 50%, bringing out its natural qualities and producing a sake with extraordinary clarity and unmistakable freshness. The profile of this sake is defined by a perfect balance of subtle sweetness and acidity, with a delicate aroma reminiscent of citrus and white flowers, typical of high-end sake.

Prolonged fermentation at low temperatures is another distinctive feature of Kubota Junmai Daiginjo, which contributes to its silky texture and clean taste, with a pleasantly lingering aftertaste. It is ideal for serving chilled and can accompany a variety of dishes, from traditional Japanese cuisine, such as sushi and sashimi, to lighter dishes from international cuisine.

Asahi Shuzo, the distillery behind Kubota Junmai Daiginjo, is committed to maintaining a high standard, with an eye toward sustainability and innovation in sake production. Their commitment is reflected in the quality of the finished product, which continues to earn admirers in Japan and abroad.
