About

The ginjo aroma is sealed within, with a crisp, clean throat feel and a clear, pure flavor. The fragrance lingers sweetly in the nose, yet on the palate it leaves a clean, sharply defined impression typical of Yamada Nishiki. Bottle pasteurization (bin-hiire) is used to minimize deterioration of the sake. It takes extra effort, but the result is a cup with softened edges and a gentle roundness. The sake is pasteurized but fully unfiltered (muroka), so refrigerated storage is recommended for long-term keeping.
