Product details
Kita no Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo Yukigokoro is the pinnacle of craftsmanship from Kobayashi Shuzo, a Hokkaido-based brewery with over 140 years of history. This sake is meticulously brewed using Hokkaido-grown rice varieties: “Ginpu” for the koji rice and “Suisei” for the kakemai. Both are polished to an impressive 35%, resulting in a refined and elegant flavor. The name “Yukigokoro,” meaning “snow heart,” reflects its delicate sweetness reminiscent of freshly fallen snow, embodying the dedication and spirit of the artisans behind its creation.
This Junmai Daiginjo offers a harmonious balance of gentle sweetness and umami, with a smooth texture and a clean finish. With an alcohol content of 16%, a sake meter value (SMV) of +3, and an acidity level of 1.6, it pairs exceptionally well with delicate dishes such as simmered fish or light Japanese cuisine. Serving it chilled between 10°C and 15°C in a tulip-shaped glass enhances its nuanced aromas and flavors. Whether for special occasions or refined everyday enjoyment, Yukigokoro invites connoisseurs to savor the craftsmanship and heritage encapsulated in each bottle.
