About
Its alcohol content is only one-third that of a typical sake (compared with Gekkeikan Josen), yet it offers a surprisingly satisfying drinking experience. It pairs well with food or your mood of the day, and you can enjoy it casually whenever you like, even on weekdays, without worrying about the next morning.
