Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake

About
Long-term aging at low temperature gives this sake a pale golden tint and softens the sharp edge of alcohol, letting gentle fruit aromas of honeyed peach and quince come forward. The palate is smooth and refined, with a fine umami, and the finish is clean and crisp, leaving nothing lingering on the tongue. Made with Yamada Nishiki grown in Hyogo Prefecture's Special A-A district (特A-A地区).
