About

Using awase koji (combined koji), a blend designed to further enhance the enjoyment of food, this sake draws out the full umami of the rice. Yellow koji (ki-koji) brings out a mellow, sweet flavor and umami, while white koji (shiro-koji) gives a clean, refreshing acidity and a wide-ranging flavor with body. In addition, a sake brewed with the yeast used in luxurious ginjo-style brewing is blended in, which increases fukumi-ka (a lingering aroma that swells after drinking).
