Fit for royalty

This sake is served at the Imperial Court and is partly what brought Katoukichibee Shouten fame during the Showa period. It’s no wonder that this sake is shipped to the US in limited amounts. From its 20% rice polishing rate to an aging time of five years, “Chogin” is nothing short of being the ultimate junmai daiginjo. The alluring aroma and deep flavor are something you won’t find anywhere else.
