Overview

The pinnacle of the brew master's craft, Pure Night is made using the traditional, time-consuming "Futa Koji" fermentation method. This ancient method maintains the perfect interior balance and requires constant fine adjustments that only experienced brew masters can provide. Pure Night is a Junmai Daiginjo premium sake. While Daiginjo sake is required to be made from rice with at least 50% of the rice polished away, Pure Night goes even further and has 65% of the rice polished away, leaving the pure starch core that results in a feather-light flavor profile.
