First-class sake
Served in first class on Japan Airlines, “Wing of Japan” is a blend of two junmai daiginjo of 20% and 35% rice polishing ratios. Both brews utilize Yamadanishiki rice grown in Hyogo prefecture, and are aged at 32 degrees Fahrenheit for about two years. Prior to shipping they are blended in a 1:1 ratio to form a sake that is quite aromatic, with an umami-rich flavor that delivers dry.
