About This Product :
The Sake:
This Junmai Daiginjo, one of the most sought after in Japan, has a complex and elusive flavor, and flawlessly balanced umami, sweetness, and tartness. Pleasantly floral, Kubota Manju’s refined aroma is in perfect harmony with its clean, silky and smooth texture. Notes of dried strawberry and nuts. A truly sublime tanrei-karakuchi (dry ＆ crisp) sake.
Translation of the name:
久保田 Kubota= Kubota is a family name, and there is no direct translation. If you breakdown the characters literally it could be translated, perhaps, as, “A sunken rice paddy.”
萬寿 Manju, meanwhile, can be translated as, “10,000 Possibilities.” It belongs to a line of Kubota products: Manju (10,000), Senju (1,000), and Hekiju (100).
