Asahi hails from Niigata, a region famous for its crisp and clean sake. Niigata is known in Japan as “snow country,” and it is because of this snow melt that the region produces such consistently pure and flavorful sake. Asahi’s Junmai Daiginjo is well rounded with a clean and mineral flavor and notes of melon and pear. It is best sipped chilled to highlight the sake’s crisp and bright texture - this one is especially well-suited for nigiri sushi.
