About
A special junmai sake made with 100% Hidahomare, a sake rice grown in Gifu Prefecture. After pressing, the sake is racked off the lees sediment (ori) and stored unpasteurized in tanks, maturing through the hot summer. Its gentle aroma is balanced by moderate acidity and umami, which spread across the palate. Warming it (kan) is also recommended.
