About
Created as a sake that wishes for a thousand years (chitose) for Kyoto, the ancient capital. To make it easy for Kyoto ryotei (traditional restaurants) to use, the sake holds back its own presence and aims for a mild character that pairs easily with meals. Made with sake rice Iwai, polished to 65%. Light and smooth in impression, a junmai sake that does not grow tiresome to drink.
