Banshu Ikkon Junmaiginjo
Basic Knowledge about Banshu Ikkyo

The word “ichikken” refers to the amount of sake to be drunk at one time, and also means one cup. Thus, “Banshu Ikken” means “a cup of sake made in the Banshu region.
Banshu Ikkyo is generally characterized by its dry and refreshing taste. Hyogo Prefecture is also a rice-producing region, and rice suitable for sake brewing is grown in abundance, resulting in high quality sake.

Banshu Ikon Taste Evaluation
Fruity like a white wine. Both beginners and drinkers will enjoy this ginjo-shu. The final taste is refreshing. It is a sake that should be cooled down to a crisp.
Most sake has a sweetness at the end, but it is refreshing to the end. It may be suitable for aperitifs. It is a refreshing mouthwash against greasiness.
