About

A mellow hiyaoroshi (sake matured through winter and released in autumn) genshu (undiluted sake) that has developed through akiagari (autumn maturation). This autumn limited edition of Koromogaura Wakamizu is one of the few sake in Aichi Prefecture that meets three conditions: (1) it is made entirely with Aichi prefectural brand rice, (2) the rice is grown under a contract cultivation arrangement, and (3) it is a junmai sake. Medium-dry (chukara) with a rich, umami-forward profile.
