Daishichi Minowamon Junmai Daiginjo Kimoto

Named after the historic gate of Nihonmatsu Castle, Minowamon is Daishichi's premier kimoto Junmai Daiginjo. It unites the fine milling of the daiginjo class — Yamada Nishiki polished to 50% — with the depth and structure that the traditional kimoto starter provides. The sake reaches 15% ABV with a near-neutral sake meter value of +1 and a moderate acidity of 1.3. Its profile combines fruit and floral aromatics with layered umami and a long finish, setting it apart from the lighter daiginjo made by faster starter methods. Brewed in Fukushima, it stands as the summit of the brewery's kimoto range.

Named after the historic gate of Nihonmatsu Castle, Minowamon is the crown jewel of Daishichi's kimoto range. This Junmai Daiginjo Kimoto combines extreme polishing finesse with the depth and structure that only kimoto can deliver. Rich, layered, with extraordinary umami complexity and a finish that seems to last forever. A true masterpiece.
