Miyagi prefecture
"Tokubetsu junmai" is a type of sake with a ginjo-grade rice polishing ratio, but with the characteristics of a junmai sake. Ichinokura “Tokubetsu Junmai” is indeed a junmai-like, versatile sake with mild aromas designed for various types of food. The taste profile changes based on the temperature: chilled, it has a well-balanced umami with a clean, sharp aftertaste; at room temperature, it offers a hearty rice aroma; when warm, there is a rich taste with acidity and sweetness. This sake uses a delicious signature table rice called Sasanishiki.
