About

Although labeled as a Junmai sake, it is in practice brewed in the manner of a Junmai Ginjo, offering a fruity, light aroma with deep richness and a full, well-rounded flavor. Served chilled with lightly seasoned dishes, or at room temperature or lukewarm (nurukan) with richly seasoned dishes, it complements a wide range of cuisine.
