Creating a New Genre of High-Quality Junmai Sake

Do we unconsciously think of sake as a pyramid with a hierarchical order and junmai daiginjo at the top? If so, we might also assume that the closer the sake is to ginjo, the better the sake, and that "good junmai sake" should be something like junmai ginjo.

We at Daishichi do not share this view. Just as in the wine world there are fruity white wines and deepflavored red wines, in the sake world there should be a full-bodied, umami-rich premium sake that contrasts with fruity daiginjo. This is what Daishichi means by "high-end junmai sake". Made from 100% Yamada Nishiki from the special A District of Hyogo Prefecture and aged well, it has a deep, rich umami flavor that floods the palate. This is not a ginjo-style sake, but a true junmai sake made with a focus on achieving a junmai-like umami flavor.

The wonderful marriage
of sake and food

“The raison d'etre of sake is to enhance the enjoyment of food” ‒ Daishichi's kimoto-brewed sake brings to mind this simple truth. When a delicious meal is set before you, you'll think, “Junmai Kimoto would be just perfect with this!” Or as you enjoy a sip of tasty sake, you'll find that your appetite is whetted: “This deserves to go with something really sumptuous. What shall we have?” Such thoughts spring to mind naturally from the intimate relationship of sake and food.
Daishichi is beyond any concern about “a sake that doesn't interfere with the food” and “food that doesn't interfere with the sake.” There’s no need to be constrained by such thoughts. Daishichi sake heightens your enjoyment of the flavors of food, and its own flavor is also brought out by good food. Here are some examples of food pairings with Daishichi sakes based on the above observations:

○Grilled beef with miso
○Yellowtail with teriyaki sauce
