Ninki Ichi “Purple” Junmai Daiginjo reflects the brewery’s unwavering commitment to craft—they produce only hand-crafted Ginjo and Daiginjo sakes, brewed in small batches for purity and precision. This elegant expression is pasteurized just once before bottling (Nama Chozo style) to preserve freshness and aromatic depth.
The result is a sake of perfect balance between gentle sweetness and crisp acidity, delivering a refined and modern interpretation of the Junmai Daiginjo style. It shows soft floral notes, bamboo, and melon rind on the nose, followed by a mild-dry palate with subtle apple and apricot tones. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and smooth, finishing with quiet elegance and a whisper of umami.
Serve chilled in a wine glass or small decanter to enhance its delicate layers of aroma and acidity. This versatile sake pairs beautifully with grilled white fish, shellfish, or lightly seasoned dishes, and its brightness makes it ideal for wine-focused dining programs.
