Translation From The Producer's Website
"Our efforts in daiginjo sake go back about 50 years. At the time, quantity was valued over quality, and low price over quality, but we were one of the first to work on improving the quality of sake, and have come to the point where people say, "When you think of good fortune, you think of daiginjo." We carefully and slowly polish our own Yamada Nishiki rice from Hyogo Prefecture's Special A region. The mash is brewed slowly and carefully at low temperatures over a long period of time, bringing out the delicate flavor of the rice. A very small amount of brewing alcohol is added at the end to create a refreshing taste. Many people give daiginjo as a gift."

"The brewmasters at Nakano Sake Brewery spent time with farmers in Hokkaido and the farmers also toured Nakano Sake Brewery. During this time, the farmers showed the brewmasters a newly emerged rice suitable for sake named “Ginpu”. This rice would later become the core ingredient in “Saika”. Through this partnership, the two geographically distant facilities connected and created “Saika”, a symbol of connecting people together. Saika uses the yeast strain #1801, which is also popular in the UK and the US. Saika is elegantly dry and has fruity and floral aromas."
