Kun-shu — aromatic and light

About
Enjoy the transparency that Yamada Nishiki brings to this sake. The ginjo aroma is locked in, leading to a crisp, clean finish on the throat and a clear, refined flavor. The aroma is sweet and lingers in the nose, yet the palate is left with a sharp, clean impression. The sake is not filtered at all, and depending on the timing of bottling, some rice components may remain in the bottle. As a nama sake, the lively energy of living yeast comes through directly on the tongue. *From December 26 through January 15, this sake is shipped with a limited New Year "Hatsuyume" (first dream of the year) label. Depending on our shipping operations and delivery schedule, the Hatsuyume label may in some cases be sent early. We wish you a good end to the year and a pleasant New Year.
