【Kudokijozu Junmai Daiginjo Banshu Aiyama 44%】
Opulent ripe fruits × Richness × Luxurious finish

This Kudokijozu Junmai Daiginjo Banshu Aiyama 44% is a high-spec, luxurious junmai daiginjo with a boldly expressive fruity profile, a gently sweet palate and a richly textured body. Aiyama itself is a “phantom” sake rice, a premium sake rice variety descended from Yamadanishiki and Omachi, and Banshu Aiyama is one of the most sought-after expressions of this rice, making a sake brewed with “Banshu Aiyama 44%” highly talked about among insiders.

The nose is lavish and sweet-toned, often described as ripe, mature fruit with both intensity and elegance. On the palate, it opens with a soft, gentle sweetness, abundant fruit flavour and plenty of savoury depth, delivering a full-bodied texture that remains surprisingly light on its feet. In the mid-palate, generous umami from the rice and layered fruit notes intertwine; the sweetness is clear yet supported by acidity. The finish is long and refined, carrying mature, graceful fruit aromatics that have earned this sake high praise from professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Ideal for drinkers who enjoy junmai daiginjo with flamboyant aromatics, slightly higher sweetness and a sense of luxury in both flavour and texture. Perfect for those already familiar with Juyondai or Aiyama sake rice and who want to explore how different breweries interpret the character of Aiyama.

Serving temperature
Serve chilled at around 8–12°C to highlight the ripe fruit aromas and gentle sweetness – this is the most common and accessible style of enjoyment

Allowing the sake to warm slightly to 12–15°C brings out more rice-driven umami and body, making it excellent with food and for slow, contemplative drinking across a full meal

Food pairing
Shellfish such as crab and prawn (especially dishes that emphasise natural sweetness like crab roe and crab legs), sushi and mixed sashimi platters

Soy-based stir-fries, sukiyaki and seafood hotpot, where the ample weight and fruitiness of Aiyama can mirror and enhance the sweet–savory character of the dishes.
