TOKUBETSU JUNMAI
Tokubetsu junmai ("special pure") is a special designation for high-quality sake, the indigenous and traditional rice wine that has become a strong symbol of Japan's national culture. Sake production throughout the country can be traced back to the 8th Century when it was produced as a sacred offering to the gods. Tokubetsu translates to "special" indicating that a special element was incorporated into the brewing process at the discretion of the brew master.
