About
After a summer in a Hyoon Chozo (sub-zero storage) room kept at minus 5 degrees Celsius, this sake has settled. Despite being a hiyaoroshi, it retains the fresh character and lively vibrancy that define Hakurakusei. The crisp finish, achieved through flat polishing (hempei seimai), stands out from the rest.
