Eight years of room-temperature aging, an SMV of -3 and a low acidity of 1.15 point to a mellow, sweet-leaning and full-bodied profile. The mature aroma is gentle rather than fruity, which places it in the juku type.

About

Smooth on the palate, with a deep, lingering finish. In Showa 47 (1972), at the time of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China, this sake was taken to China by then Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka and was used for the toast at a banquet, an honorable distinction.

Aged for eight years at ambient temperature inside the brewery.
