About

A gentle aroma and a smooth, clean drinking experience: this is where the 'Nomasaru-zake' (sake that makes you keep drinking) philosophy begins. Message from the Toji (master brewer) This is the flagship sake of our brewery and the origin of the 'Nomasaru-zake' concept. To those who favor today's vivid, fragrant sake, this one may feel refreshing by contrast. A reserved, refined aftertaste, and a clean finish that glides pleasantly down the throat. You will taste substance and a long finish, with a light, crisp edge that makes you want to keep pouring. Enjoy kofuku (the happiness of good food and drink) with your chopsticks, your cup, and this sake.
