About
Making the most of the broad flavor range of Hitogokochi rice, this sake balances a vivid, fragrant aroma of ethyl caproate (an ester that gives fruity notes) with a smooth, lingering sweetness and refined acidity, brewed to finish cleanly and pleasantly. Pasteurization is handled with the aim of establishing this as a staple aroma-forward sake and achieving stable shipments.
