Gekkeikan Daiginjō Namazume (大吟醸 生詰) is made of Gohyakumangoku rice milled to 50% and a new yeast variety developed by Gekkeikan. It has a fruity aroma, like fresh green apples and pears, and a smooth, light, and refreshing mouthfeel. The gorgeous aroma lingers on for a long time, while at the same time, the aftertaste is clean and crisp. Best enjoyed chilled. It goes well with lightly flavoured dishes such as white fish carpaccio, grilled horse mackerel with lemon juice and chilled tofu, and fresh cheese like mozzarella and cream cheese.
