About
Made with 100% Koshitanrei, a sake rice grown in Niigata Prefecture, this Junmai Daiginjo is fermented slowly over a long period at low temperature. Its defining qualities are a bright, fruit-like aroma and a gentle umami that spreads through a smooth, easy-drinking character. As a year-round product of Kakurei, Niigata's local sake, it sits at the very top of the brand's lineup.
