About

Ichinoide Tokubetsu Junmai is made with 100% Wakamizu sake rice (酒造好適米) grown in Usuki, Oita Prefecture. The rice's umami comes through firmly, and a moderate acidity runs through the flavor, making it a good match for the local white-fleshed and blue-backed fish dishes. It is a way to experience the terroir of Usuki.
