Junmai

Junmai is a traditional and versatile style of sake made using only rice, rice koji and water. Unlike Ginjo and Daiginjo styles, there is no specific rice-polishing requirement for Junmai sake.

Because the rice does not have to be polished to a particular level, Junmai can retain more of the character and flavour of the rice. It is often fuller-bodied, with pronounced umami, savoury notes and a rich, satisfying finish. Junmai can be enjoyed both chilled and warm and is particularly well suited to pairing with food.

Best for: Those who enjoy full-bodied sake, rich umami and food-friendly flavours.
