Japanese Sake
Junmai: Classic Junmai contains a rice polishing ratio within 70-100% of its original weight, known as its seimaido. Many Junmai fall into the former category (70% seimaido), reducing its kernels by roughly a third. The higher polishing ratios mean sake rice grains still hold various protein, minerals, vitamins and lipids, contributing to sake with more body, higher acidity, and pronounced umami flavors.
Tokubetsu Junmai: Tokubetsu Junmai has a rice polishing ratio of 60%. Like regular Junmai, the remaining proteins create a medium-bodied, savory-tasting sake than more polished types.
Junmai Ginjo: Junmai Ginjo sake maintains rice polishing ratios also at 60%, sometimes less. This particular type of Junmai also introduces a special production method known as Ginjikomi, resulting in sake with a fruity and floral profile.
Junmai Daiginjo: With a 50% or less rice polishing ratio, Junmai Daiginjo is the most milled rice grain used for Japanese sake. Junmai Daiginjo exposes the starch-rich kernel of each grain, creating delicate tasting sakes.
