KANKIKU 39 SPECIAL THANKS 24 寒菊銘釀 39 Special Thanks 2024 純米大吟釀 無濾過生原酒 720ml

Brewed by Kankiku Meijo (寒菊銘釀) in Chiba Prefecture, 39 Special Thanks 2024 (寒菊 39 純米大吟釀 無濾過生原酒) is an annual release that expresses the brewery’s appreciation for its fans and supporters. This luxurious Junmai Daiginjo Muroka Nama Genshu — unfiltered, unpasteurised, and undiluted — captures Kankiku’s signature fruit-forward style with exceptional clarity and depth.

Brewed from Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 39%, this sake offers elegant aromas of white peach, pear, and jasmine, unfolding into a silky, well-balanced palate with soft sweetness and gentle acidity. The Nama Genshu expression brings vivid freshness and texture, creating a lively and graceful finish that lingers long after each sip.
