Junmai Daiginjo
SAKE PLATINUM LIMITED EDITION 2023
Ozeki Sake Platinum Limited Edition is the first Junmai Daiginjo brewed in the 2023 sake brewing season and is made of California grown rice polished to 50%. The moromi (sake mash) goes through a very slow fermentation. It is different from the Platinum that is regularly available in our lineup. The Limited Edition is bottled within a week after pressing and filtration and has almost no storage time. It is also a draft (nama-chozo), meaning it undergoes heat treatment only one time instead of the regular two. These create a more fresh and fragrant sake with a fine, smooth texture. Featured on the label is Ozeki’s brewmaster mixing the shubo (sake base) and moromi called “kai-ire. ” Kai-ire is one of the most intensive work in sake brewing.
