Kun-shu — aromatic and light

About
Rich aroma and a clean finish. Enjoy the mellow umami of the rice. Akama-go (赤間郷) was a post town on the Karatsu Kaido (唐津街道) during the Edo period. Today, white plaster walls, lattice windows, and houses decorated with plaster ornamentation known as kote-e (こて絵) still remain.
