About
A sake with a refreshing aroma, rich umami, and gentle acidity in harmony, offering a plush yet powerful character and a soft, clean finish. Kimoto brewing gives this sake its abundant umami. Its gentle richness and moderate acidity intertwine in balance, making it a sturdy, flavorful umakuchi (rich-tasting) sake. It can be enjoyed across a wide range of temperatures, from room temperature to nurukan (gently warmed sake), though warming it brings out a more mellow roundness. Winner of the Trophy in the Junmai Shu category at the IWC 2020.
