About

This sake has a subtle ginjo aroma. On the palate it is light, smooth, and easy to drink, and its umami spreads on the finish, leaving a full, elegant character. Although it is a ginjo sake, it is good served chilled, at room temperature, or warmed to lukewarm (nurukan). It keeps the same flavor to the last drop, however much you pour, and is a sake of which Ishimoto Sake Brewery is proud.
