About
Crisp and clean, with a refreshing finish. Despite its dry character, it carries a gentle umami, and its overall balance is excellent. It is recommended chilled, as well as warmed to lukewarm (nurukan) or hot (atsukan). As a food sake, it stays out of the way of the meal, complementing and enhancing the dishes. Made with glutinous rice using four-stage brewing (shidan-jikomi).
