About

Sake entered in the Annual Japan Sake Awards. Enshu Yamanaka Sake Brewery pursues a philosophy of being particular about the rice, particular about the brewing, and particular about food pairing, creating umakuchi sake (rich, flavorful sake) in which the five tastes of sweet, dry, sour, astringent, and bitter are in harmony. This sincere approach to sake making, nurtured by the brewery owner's and toji's dedication, is the result of a remarkable process. With a gentle aroma, this daiginjo is finished crisp and clean, with well-balanced character.
