Lean and bursting with flavour, this Junmai Daiginjo is milled to 35% remaining - the optimal milling rate for Yamada Nishiki according to the master brewer. Senkin Issei is the entry-level sake for their premium series, which are all pressed using the Fukurozuri pressing method (employing gravity to separate pure, clean sake from the mash - a popular method for competition level sake). 

Notes of juicy melon and fuji apple make this a true delight to sip on with a wide variety of non-Japanese dishes using cheese and/or dairy products. The brewery encourages drinkers to consume their sake out of Bordeaux wine glasses to truly discover the sensory potential of their brews.
