{"product_id":"banshu-ikkon-kita-nishiki-junmai-daiginjo-sake","title":"Banshu Ikkon Kita Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo Sake","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the daiginjo expression of Banshu Ikkon's contrarian rice: Kita Nishiki, a native Hyogo variety that behaves like the lean sake rices of Niigata and Hokkaido rather than the lush, soft-grained Yamada Nishiki that made the prefecture famous. Milled to 50% and brewed at Sanyohai Brewery (founded 1837) with Kyokai #901 yeast and soft Hyonosen mountain water, it produces exactly what the rice promises — lean, dry, beautifully structured sake — but at daiginjo refinement, and at a price that makes this grade genuinely accessible for everyday dining. Bottled at 15% ABV. Expect aromas of fresh pear and Fuji apple opening into a medium-bodied palate with real vibrancy and energy, light fruitiness, clean umami, a touch of refreshing acidity, and a fleeting cotton-candy delicacy that leaves a memorable impression, finishing clean and defined. Where the brewery's Yamada Nishiki daiginjo is quiet contemplation, this one is precision and lift — exceptionally light and versatile, working before, during, or after a meal. The brewmaster's own pairing recommendations: grilled or roasted chicken, squid, or crab seasoned with black pepper. Serve chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Banshu Ikkon Kita Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo Sake online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49662146740480,"sku":"C0010219L","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/BanshuIkkon_KitaNishiki_JunmaiDaiginjoSake.jpg?v=1788322311","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/banshu-ikkon-kita-nishiki-junmai-daiginjo-sake","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
