Daishichi Brewery considers aged sake to be the ultimate expression of delight and fulfillment and named it Rakutenmei or \"Delight in One's Destiny.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecognizing that it takes far more effort and technical prowess to create an exceptional junmai than a mediocre ginjo or daiginjo, Daishichi is committed to brewing sakes using traditional methods that cultivate deep umami over fruity or floral aromas. In fact, when we asked the brewery, \"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf there's one thing the toji wants customers to know about this sake, what is it?\" their answer was \"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNot all top sake has to be daiginjo, there are also other ways.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotice the amber color and take in aromas of whipped cream, caramel, mascarpone, pineapple and banana.

The president of Daishichi Ohta-san visited a famous Burgundy winery in France (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) in the 1990s. There, he saw wonderful old wooden vats which were still in active use. This inspired him to use the five kioke sitting dormant at Daishichi since the Taisho period (over 100 years ago).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo highlight the round, complex flavor only achieved through kioke fermentation, this sake has been aged in a refrigerated cellar.
