About

Many customers have told us that this sake was how they first discovered sake, and it helped open up the ginjo boom. Its fruity ginjo aroma and refreshing flavor have earned praise, and it was chosen as the aroma sample for Max Factor's SK-II cosmetics and became the first sake handled by BB&R, the oldest wine merchant in the United Kingdom and a purveyor to the Royal Household. It continues to evolve today.
