Junmai sake is all about purity. Brewed with just four ingredients—rice, water, yeast and koji—it’s sake in its most honest form. No added alcohol, no shortcuts—just craftsmanship and tradition. The word junmai means “pure rice,” and it signals a focus on structure, depth, and a more savoury, umami-driven profile.

Junmai styles can range from light and clean to rich and earthy, making them a great place to explore the natural character of sake. If you’re looking for flavour, texture, and a real sense of what sake is all about, Junmai is a beautifully grounded place to begin.
