About
A shizuku-tori (drip-collected) daiginjo, made by hanging sake bags filled with moromi and collecting only the sake that drips out naturally. Because only a small amount can be taken from each brewing, this sake is very rare. Kyokai No. 1801 yeast gives a vibrant ginjo aroma, and the palate is tanrei (light and clean) and fruity.
