SAKE
Sake flavor profiles:
Junmai refers to pure sake, pure in the sense that no adjuncts (starches or sugars other than rice added to the fermenting mixture) were used, and that no brewer's alcohol was added either. Junmai-shu, like Honzojo-shu, must be made with rice with a Seimai Buai (degree of milling) of at least 70%. What this means is that the rice has been polished so that no more than 70% of the original size of the grains remains. Junmai often has a fuller, richer body and a higher-than-average acidity.

Ginjo sake is much more delicate, light and complex than Junmai. Why? The rice has had the outer 40% of the grains polished away, leaving the inner 60% left. Special yeast, lower fermentation temperatures, and labor -intensive techniques make for fragrant, intricate brews.

Daiginjo is an extension of Ginjo. The rice has been milled so that no more than 50% of the original size of the grains remains, although this often goes to 35%, and even more care has been taken to create sake representative of the pinnacle of the craft.
