Kun-shu — aromatic and light

About
Just as the fireflies healed the sword, the soft flavor of this junmai ginjo sake soothes our hearts. The taste is gentle yet full-bodied, with a well-balanced character. It pairs easily with light dishes and is approachable for older drinkers and those who are not accustomed to sake.
