This is a long-time best-selling sake at Umami Mart! A rare daiginjo (not junmai daiginjo), this sake is aromatic and quite dry. This is by any measure a killer sake for the price, but for those keeping score, each bottle comes with two gold flakes! A winner, as far as we're concerned. Snag this attractive-looking bottle for your next birthday obligation or just to enjoy on your own! 

President Obama and the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe celebrated with this bottle of sake alongside their 12-course omakase meal at Sukiyabashi Jiro in 2014 – so you know this bottle is made for a special occasion! Featuring two gold leaves, Toji Ide-san recommends having this in a wine glass or ochoko very well chilled. Truly ahead of its time, this daiginjo was released in 1958, before the ginjo boom. Unlike other floral daiginjos, this sake is bold and full of umami – making it an ideal sake for pairing with food. In addition to sushi, Ide-san recommends this sake with salted fava beans and vinegared oysters.
