About

Enjoy it chilled, at room temperature, lukewarm (nurukan), or hot (atsukan), as you prefer. Warming it releases the aroma and further highlights the umami. Mochigome yondan jikomi (four-stage brewing with glutinous rice). The "Arigato" label, designed by Kataoka Tsurutaro, features the gentian "Kasen" grown by Hanaizumi's former toji as its motif. The words "Thank you, with heartfelt gratitude" are written in calligraphy. It is popular as a gift for someone special (720 ml only).
