About

Taking advantage of the characteristics of Akitsuho, a rice that holds up well to high polishing, we polished it to a rice polishing ratio of 22% and paired it with Kyokai No. 7-type yeast, drawing out the full potential of this rice. The result is a complex, fragrant sake that stands apart from low-polishing styles. We hope you can taste the effect that differences in rice polishing ratio have on flavor and aroma compounds when the same yeast is used. Kazenomori ALPHA Going beyond the framework of the conventional Kazenomori line, ALPHA is a brand that sets its sights on new goals and pursues the potential of sake through original techniques.
