About

The greatest advantage of wooden tubs is the heat-retaining quality of the wood. They are less affected by outside air than enamel tanks, so the fermentation temperature rises and falls gently, which gives the sake a mild character. The sake is adjusted for alcohol content and pasteurized (hiire), resulting in a smooth mouthfeel and a light, clean drinkability that does not tire the palate.
