What does Junmai 純米 mean?   
The term Junmai (純米) means "pure rice" in Japanese and refers to sake brewed solely from rice, water, yeast, and koji (a special mold used for fermentation) — without the addition of brewing alcohol. Junmai sake represents a clear, authentic expression with a rich, often umami-laden flavor.

What makes Junmai Ginjo so special?

Junmai Ginjo is among the highest quality sake. It is characterized by a mild, fruity character and a delicate umami note, achieved by polishing the rice down to at least 60% of the original grain. The brewing process is especially time-consuming and meticulous, resulting in an elegant, refined flavor profile.
