About

Aged for more than five years in the brewery. This is a junmai sake with a clean finish within a full, mellow flavor. 【Rice Selection】 Hattan 35 from Hiroshima Prefecture is used for the koji rice (rice for koji), and Yamada Nishiki from the Special A district of Hyogo Prefecture is used for the kake rice (rice added in the later stages of brewing). Each rice's characteristics are brought out, resulting in a sake that is crisp yet deep in flavor. 【Gold Award, 2019 KAN SAKE AWARD】 This sake received a Gold Award at the 2019 KAN SAKE AWARD, organized by the KAN SAKE AWARD Executive Committee and supported by the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association. 【Recommended Pairings】 It pairs well with grilled dishes such as salt-grilled yakitori and grilled oysters. It also pairs well with shellfish dishes such as aoyagi kushiyaki (grilled skewered surf clam) and scallop carpaccio. 【Recommended Serving】 It can be enjoyed chilled, but warming (kan) is recommended.
