“Tokubetsu junmai” is a premium category of Japanese sake. It indicates that the sake is a pure rice wine (junmai) without added alcohol or additional ingredients, and it meets certain special qualifications set by the brewer. These qualifications might include the type of rice used, the milling rate (seimai buai) of the rice, and the brewing process.

The term “tokubetsu” translates to “special,” which suggests that there is something distinctive or noteworthy about the sake, but the exact nature of that uniqueness can vary depending on the brewery and the specific sake being produced.
