About
The wooden tag with a branded stamp that hangs from the neck of the bottle is made of Yoshino cedar. Dip this tag into sake poured in a glass and stir it ten times, like a swizzle stick, and, abracadabra, the sake instantly transforms into taruzake (sake aged or served in cedar barrels). This is possible because the sake is Hakuko, brewed with extremely soft water. Soft water has the property of drawing out the inherent flavor and aroma of ingredients. Through this action, the aroma of the Yoshino cedar is brought out, and the sake immediately takes on the scent of taruzake. This junmai ginjo sake has a full, rounded flavor and a clean finish (kire), typical of sake from Hiroshima.
