RICE Yamada Nishiki milled to 80%

Den Blanc is a new expression of sake made using white koji to create a pleasant citrus-like sourness together with gentle umami flavors. White koji is commonly used for shochu making and naturally produces a higher amount of citric acid.
This new release of Den Blanc is Den’s first batch brewed with Yamadanishiki rice, polished to just 80%. Staying true to the concept of crafting tasty sake with minimally polished rice, this Blanc retains its signature citrus-like acidity and has a slightly drier finish, resulting in a refreshing and vibrant profile.
Young pineapple, green apple, hint of cream. Juicy-tart on palate, with gentle umami and minerality. Rich, mouth-watering finish.
