About
With a sake meter value (SMV) of +1, this is a very basic, classic sake that truly represents nihonshu. It has no particular quirks, so it never tires, and it reflects the concept from the brewery's founding: a sake that many people can enjoy over a long time. It pairs superbly with fresh sashimi, and the coming season is just right for it.
