About

Brewed with premium Yamada Nishiki grown in Yokawa-cho, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, one of Japan's leading sake rice producing areas, this sake offers a plump, gentle flavor. The aroma is soft and sweet, reminiscent of melon and banana, with a subtle milky note. On the palate it is fresh and light. A distinctive feature of this sake is the gentle sweetness that comes through beneath its dryness.
