About
This sake, said to have been favored by Taiko (retired regent) Hideyoshi, who sent envoys repeatedly to purchase it, has been revived in modern times. It is a reproduction sake that recreates the brewing methods of the Muromachi to Sengoku periods as faithfully as possible. Unlike contemporary seishu, this amber-colored sake is exceptionally rich and sweet. It is an ultra-premium sake that evokes the romance of the Sengoku era.
