About
This sake offers the clean, crisp mouthfeel characteristic of ginjo (a premium style brewed from highly polished rice), along with a refreshing acidity that is pleasant on the palate. Its gentle aroma does not overpower food, making it a classic food-pairing sake that can be enjoyed slowly throughout a meal, glass after glass without tiring. Its light mouthfeel and soft, rice-derived sweetness also make it a good choice for those drinking sake for the first time.
