About

A junmai ginjo sake matured for one summer, released as an autumn-only limited edition. It has a mellow, full-bodied flavor. Hiyaoroshi (sake pressed in spring, pasteurized once in cask, aged through the summer, then bottled chilled without a second pasteurization) is an autumn-only limited release. The cask aging of this season brings out a mellow, deep flavor that is unique to this time of year. Recommended pairings This sake pairs well with autumn flavors such as grilled saury with salt and grilled eggplant. Suggested serving Enjoy it at any temperature, from chilled to warmed to lukewarm (nurukan), according to the dish or personal preference. The label features a landscape of the Seto Inland Sea, drawn in the style of ink-wash painting by ink painting artist CHiNPAN.
