Tasting notes
Among the Sugata cuvées, Junmaï Daïginjo is undoubtedly the most accomplished. It is a muroka sake, not carbon filtered, genshu, not reduced to water after fermentation, and shizuku, as only the drops that run off naturally during pressing are recovered. An ultra-careful sake, with a powerful nose marked by tropical fruit and ripe pear. A rich, intense Daïginjo with a strong impact and powerful umami. Good acidity and a fairly high alcohol content contribute to the overall balance.
