About

The driest sake in the Chitosetsuru lineup, with the highest sake meter value (SMV) in the range. An authentic dry honjozo with a crisp, smooth finish. Light aromas of fresh pear and turnip come through cleanly, and its moderate acidity is so moreish that you will find yourself saying "namara" (Hokkaido dialect for "very"). True to its name, this is an extra-dry sake, yet it offers a refreshing, crisp finish, crafted as a genuine sake to be fully enjoyed.
