About
The brewing water is soft water at about 7°C, drawn from springs that originate in the snow-capped Taisetsuzan mountain range. The sake rice is contract-grown Ginpu, a variety with moderate aroma, umami, and body. Summer vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplant, which are rich in nutrients and high in water content, and spicy ethnic dishes are recommended as pairings. Serve it well chilled and enjoy the coolness of a summer evening at your leisure.
