About

The main aromas are gentle grain notes reminiscent of freshly pounded mochi and shiratamako (glutinous rice flour), along with fruity notes of apricot that carry a tangy acidity. On the palate, this dry genshu (undiluted sake) is brewed using the kimoto (traditional yeast-starter method) approach, offering rich acidity and a smooth, expansive umami that remains easy to drink to the last glass. It is best enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed (kan) to around 55°C.
