Flavor description and other data
Sugihime Daiginjo is slightly rich yet smooth, and ever so slightly sparkling, which contributes a fresh and pleasant touch. The aroma is reminiscent of melons or grapes. The flavors and aromas are beautifully balanced and indicative of modern trends in sake. Sugihime Daiginjo has a finish that smoothly disappears and a clean taste, free of any off-flavors. This sake has a graceful quality that fits our elegant brand, Sugihime, and is well matched with blowfish dishes that are a specialty of Yamaguchi prefecture as well as with Western seafood such as white fish meunière and wine-flavored scallops.

Brewer
In the early Edo period, the Abe family gave up being samurai and started a sake brewery. They became tradesmen, spread into five families and prospered as wealthy merchants. The ownership was transferred to the Miyazaki family in the Meiji period, but our company has a 400-year history here in Yamaguchi City. Formerly, tubs and casks made of Japanese cedar were used to produce sake, and when a new brew was produced each year, a ball made from Japanese cedar leaves used to be hung under the eaves of the brewery. Japanese cedar is indispensable for sake production. The name Sugihime was given to the sake by a former company president, romantically meaning that a Japanese cedar fairy, which is what sugihime means in Japanese, keeps an eye on our sake. This brewery is particular about using raw materials such as rice, water and yeast that come from Yamaguchi prefecture.
