Traditionally, achieving the highest qualification of Junmai Daiginjo\/Daiginjo requires polishing away 50% of the rice, but some producers, including Niizawa, have experimented with higher rates. After 350 hours of polishing, they reached an unprecedented 7% polishing ratio. This sake, aptly named Zankyo (\"Reverb\" or \"Vibration\"), boasts an exquisitely light and delicate structure, with fleeting textures, flavors, and aromas that define the finest sakes—always just beyond reach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINFO:\u003cbr\u003eProducer: Niizawa Brewery\u003cbr\u003eVintage: NV\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Japan\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Miyagi\u003cbr\u003eAppellation: Miyagi Prefecture\u003cbr\u003eVariety: Kura no Hana Rice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row sku_content_area\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-5 border-right\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Niizawa Brewery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43907328180395,"sku":"JP-ZAK-40-NV-N","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0540\/9459\/4219\/files\/NIIZAWA_BOTTLE-removebg-preview.png?v=1728483646"},{"product_id":"daiginjo-sake-nagasaki-bijin","title":"DAIGINJO SAKE Nagasaki Bijin 720ML","description":"\u003cp\u003eFukuda Shuzo\u003cbr\u003eHistory and Story\u003cbr\u003eEstablished in 1688, Fukuda Brewery is one of the few sake breweries to inhabit Japan’s westernmost prefecture of Nagasaki.
