BANSHU IKKON CHOKARA JUNMAI 720ml

Banshu Ikkon “Chokara” Junmai is the flagship of the renowned Super Dry series, which includes Junmai, Junmai Ginjo, and Junmai Daiginjo. This original Junmai expression represents the true essence of the series.

While many sake are labelled “dry,” this sake stands apart with its rich umami and exceptionally clean finish. It opens with a soft mouthfeel, followed by a sharp, crisp finish that leaves no lingering heaviness. The result is a slim, refined, and highly drinkable profile.

With a sake meter value of +10, it has been carefully rebalanced from its previous +15 to better suit modern palates while maintaining its signature sharpness. Designed as a sake that complements food, it is widely enjoyed alongside a variety of cuisines, especially seafood and sushi.
