Here we introduce "Ryugetsu," one of the twin pillars of the legendary sake "Juyondai." It's a masterpiece brewed using Special-A district Yamadanishiki, drawn off by shizukudori (drip-pressing) and matured at near-freezing temperature. "Ryugetsu" is a Junmai Daiginjo. The moment you take a sip, the golden ratio of sweetness, umami and acidity sets off a Big Bang that fills your heart. A fresh, dewy fruit aroma layers with umami derived from the rice, reaching its peak in an instant, after which a clean, crisp aftertaste colours the finale.
