About
Clean and dry, yet with a gentle, gradually swelling sweetness and rice umami. A long-selling sake with more than 20 years of history as a "light, dry" (karoyaka karakuchi) sake. It also suits warming to a high temperature, allowing a slow appreciation of the spreading Japanese fruit aromas of loquat, persimmon, and sap-like notes.
