Daiginjo wordt samen met Junmai Daiginjo gezien als het beste wat een brouwer kan maken. Typisch voor Daiginjo is het fruitige en florale karakter, de elegantie, complexiteit. Deze sake kunnen altijd het beste in een wit wijnglas geserveerd worden. De kwaliteit van een Daiginjo is afhankelijk van het gebied waar het vandaan komt, het water, de rijstsoort, de brouwschool en hoe de Daiginjo gebrouwen is. Wettelijk gezien gebruik je voor Daiginjo, rijst die minder als 50 procent van zijn oorspronkelijk gewicht heeft en speciale sake-rijst.
