Junmai, which refers to pure saké (meaning no alcohol added by virtue of supplemented starch or sugars), historically requires 30% of the rice used to be milled away. Although it is no longer mandatory, milling rate is stipulated on the label. This bottling from Wakaebisu, established in 1853, is a classic. Kampai!
