About

The secret lies in citric acid, which gives this sake the distinctive sweet-tart flavor of white koji (rice mold) that evokes summer. Like taking a mouthful of fruit, its sweet-tart character, crisp refreshment, and depth of flavor herald the start of midsummer, making this unpasteurized (namazake) sake a special cup for the height of summer.
