Aihara Ugonotuki "Ray" Junmai Daiginjo

Aihara Ugonotsuki “Ray” Junmai Daiginjo : Ultra-Polished Elegance from Hiroshima

Aihara Shuzo’s Ugonotsuki “Ray” Junmai Daiginjo is one of Japan’s most refined sakes, crafted with exceptional attention to detail in the heart of Hiroshima Prefecture. This sake is made using 100% Yamadanishiki rice polished down to an extraordinary 7%, a feat rarely achieved in sake brewing, highlighting the brewery’s commitment to purity and finesse.

On the nose, “Ray” reveals an enchanting bouquet of white peach, green apple, and muscat grapes, with delicate floral undertones and a soft whisper of fresh herbs. The palate is silky and clean, presenting layers of juicy melon, crisp Asian pear, and a hint of citrus. Its light sweetness and vibrant acidity are balanced by a smooth, airy texture, culminating in a graceful, lingering finish. With an ABV of 16%, this sake expresses clarity and elegance in every sip.

Best enjoyed slightly chilled, “Ray” pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as sashimi, uni (sea urchin), fresh oysters, or delicate vegetable tempura. It’s an ideal companion for special occasions or contemplative moments of quiet appreciation.

Whether you're savouring Ugonotsuki “Ray” during an elegant dinner at The Lakes in Dubai or sharing a bottle at a celebration in Bloom Gardens in the UAE, CityDrinks brings this rare and exquisite sake to your doorstep in under 2 hours, offering a taste of Japan’s sake mastery.
