Shichiken

Kinunoaji—'silky taste'—is a junmai daiginjo from Yamanashi Meijo, brewed in the foothills of the Japanese Alps. It has received consistent recognition at international competitions for a profile that blends soft fruit sweetness with a smooth, extended finish. The brewery intends it as a dining companion, and its texture works well alongside rich, creamy dishes where lighter sake might get lost.
