Eikun Kotosennen Junmai Daiginjo: Elegant, Fruit Driven and Celebratory

Eikun Kotosennen Junmai Daiginjo is a refined and award winning sake brewed by Saito Shuzo in Kyoto, Japan. Crafted with Kyoto’s heirloom Iwai rice polished to 45% and brewed with the famously soft Fushimi spring water, this sake represents the elegance and finesse of Kyoto’s sake making tradition. Its name, meaning "A Thousand Years in the Ancient Capital," reflects both the historical legacy of Kyoto and the sake’s gracefully balanced character.

On the nose, Eikun Kotosennen opens with delicate floral notes of sakura blossom and white lily, joined by fresh aromas of melon, green apple, and a touch of white pepper. The palate is soft and polished, with layers of tropical fruits such as melon and papaya blending seamlessly with subtle umami and a light sweetness reminiscent of cotton candy, carried by a smooth acidity. The finish is clean and refined, leaving a lingering hint of orchard fruit and gentle minerality that reflects the purity of its ingredients.

Brewed in small batches using precise cold fermentation methods, Eikun Kotosennen has been honored with multiple awards, including five consecutive Gold Medals at the US National Sake Appraisal and a Bronze at the 2023 Oriental Sake Awards, affirming its reputation as one of Kyoto’s premium sake offerings.

Best enjoyed chilled to highlight its aromatic complexity and silky texture, this Junmai Daiginjo pairs beautifully with fresh sashimi, lobster, creamy cheeses, or delicate vegetable tempura, making it an ideal choice for celebrations and refined dining.
