About
Junmai Ginjo moromi made with Bizen Omachi rice from Okayama Prefecture, polished to a 50% rice polishing ratio, is hung in bags so that the sake drips out naturally. Nakadori (the middle portion) is the sake that flows after the initial arabashiri (first run), and it is the mellowest and best balanced part of the run. This sake is entered in sake evaluation competitions (kampyokai).
