About
Highly aromatic, with a lingering aroma in the mouth (kuchinaka-ka) and a firm, full flavor. It is the sake favored by tea master Jimyosai (而妙斎) of Omotesenke and is served at Omotesenke tea gatherings. Made with Yamada Nishiki rice polished to a rice polishing ratio of 35%, this limited release is an exceptional sake. Slightly dry with a clean finish, it is well suited to chakaiseki (the light meal served before a tea ceremony).
