[SMV +5] Daiginjo Rosan

Daiginjo Rosan sake from the famous Iwamura brewery, in Gifu prefecture. Brewed from the same brewery as the Yuzu-shu.

Daiginjo Rosan uses Yamada nishiki rice, which is one of the famous rice for sake usage.

The water used is the top 50 quality water source in Gifu prefecture and this is the top quality Daiginjo sake from Iwamura brewery.

Milling the rice till it’s left with 35% of it, Iwamura brewery used it to brew Daiginjo Rosan to achieve a higher quality of Daiginjo as compared to other Daiginjo. 

This is also the highest quality Daiginjo from Iwamura brewery as they want to be the top brewery to brew the best Daiginjo sake throughout Japan and for it to stand out from the rest.

Another point to note is that Daiginjo Rosan has a higher alcohol level of 1% - 2% than the usual Daiginjo!

If you like our Kinu suiro, you will like this as well. It is fragrant and has a rich rice taste to it yet it’s clear and not too sweet. This is easy to drink and great with Japanese seafood cuisine.

Do you know most of our sake are hand picked by Ohta-san! As a self-proclaimed sake connoisseur he always hand-picked and carefully tasted and tried all the sake he introduced to you!
