About
Unkai Shuzo, known for its shochu (distilled spirit), also produces sake. Made with carefully polished Yamada Nishiki sake rice and pure water from Aya in Miyazaki, an area with one of Japan's leading evergreen broadleaf forests, this sake represents Miyazaki. Its aroma is elegant, and its flavor has depth and breadth. It is a dry daiginjo that is easy to drink.
