About
A smooth, light texture with a subtle sweetness. This is an exquisite drop that lets you slowly savor each grain of rice. It is clean with no off-flavors, and has a soft, rounded body. It won over a renowned Japanese chef at first sip, and led to an invitation to a global culinary society. It is easy to drink for women and does not tire the palate. A food-pairing sake, enjoyed with Japanese cuisine and natural foods.
