Mu Junmai Daiginjo is a type of premium sake made using traditional brewing methods. Junmai refers to sake that is made only from rice, water, yeast, and koji (a type of mold used in fermentation), with no added alcohol. Daiginjo is a designation for sake that is made with rice milled to at least 50% of its original size, resulting in a more refined and delicate flavor profile. Mu Junmai Daiginjo is known for its elegant and complex taste, with floral and fruity notes. It is often served chilled and pairs well with a variety of dishes, from sushi and sashimi to lighter fare like salads and seafood. It is a popular choice for special occasions and can be enjoyed on its own as a luxurious and refreshing drink.
