About

Inspired by the once-beloved ori-zake (sake served with its settled lees), a misty, lightly cloudy style that resembled haze, this is a dry and refreshing namazake (unpasteurized sake). It portrays a spring snowfall that falls as if reluctant to bid farewell to winter. Its delicate aroma enhances food, and its clean finish is a defining feature. Like snow that fades away softly, it can also be enjoyed on the rocks. A lightly cloudy honnama honjozo (unpasteurized Honjozo). Crisp and dry, with a clean finish and a smooth mouthfeel, it is a Honjozo that is highly rated even by those who do not often drink sake.
