/joon-mai/
Crafted solely from rice, water, yeast, and koji, Junmai is a variety of sake that offers a full-bodied, umami-rich flavour. This approach, without added alcohol, results in a sake that celebrates the natural essence of its ingredients. This pairs wonderfully with nokke-don, a customisable rice bowl from Aomori, topped with fresh seafood like scallops and crab.
Shellfish
This full-bodied sake is packed with flavour and its higher acidity makes it versatile for pairing.
Junmai, or ‘pure rice’, is made without the addition of brewer’s alcohol (the only alcohol comes from the rice fermentation itself).
Choose Junmai to bring out the best in dishes that feature savoury shellfish as a key ingredient.
