About

[Message from the Toji (master brewer)] Carefully selected Hokkaido-grown sake rice, polished to 40%, was brewed meticulously through long, low-temperature fermentation. Serve moderately chilled, at around 7 to 10°C, and enjoy it in a sake cup you love. An elegant, fragrant aroma on first nosing, a fruity aroma that lingers in the mouth, and a firm, mineral-tinged taste. And the clean finish of "nomasaru" (easy to drink) invites the next cup.
