About
Lacking a sake rice variety unique to the prefecture, we began using this rice to give our brewery in Nagasaki its own character. It has a gentle aroma that makes full use of the umami of Nikomaru, and it is a sake that can be enjoyed easily and without fuss. The name Nikomaru comes from the rice itself, which makes people break into a smile when they eat it. We hope this sake, in the same way, brings a natural smile to those who drink it. Next shipment: Year-round (namazake: early January; pasteurized sake: early March) * Alcohol content may vary depending on the lot.
