KAGURA JUNMAI DAIGINJO WHITE 神蔵 白 純米大吟醸 720ml
Brewed by Matsui Shuzo (松井酒造), one of Kyoto’s oldest breweries (est. 1726), Kagura “White” Junmai Daiginjo (神蔵 白) embodies the brand’s philosophy of purity through craftsmanship. “Kagura” means Divine Music — symbolising serenity and rhythm — and the White label expresses clarity, balance, and refinement.
Crafted from premium Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 45%, this sake offers graceful aromas of pear, lychee, and jasmine, followed by a silky palate with gentle sweetness and lingering umami. Brewed with Kyoto’s famously soft water, it achieves a light yet expressive profile — elegant, clean, and soothing.
