Brewed with Yamada-Nishiki, the revered "king of sake rice," grown locally here in California, this sake is a celebration of how far we have come — blending deep respect for Japanese tradition with the spirit of innovation that defines Sequoia Sake.
The term Daiginjo refers to sake made with highly polished rice, where at least 50% of each grain is carefully milled away to reveal its purest core. This process is highly time-intensive: milling to Daiginjo standards can take more than 40 hours, requiring exceptional care to prevent the delicate grains from cracking. Once polished, the rice demands a gentler touch and deeper knowledge throughout brewing to draw out its full potential.
The result is a sake of exquisite refinement: a soft, almost ethereal profile with layers of gentle fruit, floral notes, and a richness that lingers long after each sip. A sake to be savored slowly — and a fitting tribute to our journey.
Serving Suggestion:
