About
A distinctive kijoshu aged for more than eight years. It is often said to taste like sherry, Madeira, or fine Shaoxing wine. This 8-year-aged kijoshu has been well received by people who drink sake from around the world and by the few dedicated koshu enthusiasts. It is also popular among women. How about enjoying it with chocolate or dessert? Bitter chocolate, or chocolate with nuts or dried fruit, is especially recommended.
