About
This Junmai sake is made with Aichi-grown rice, "Aichi no Kaori," cultivated with compost made from food residue, and is bottled in reusable bottles marked with an "R" symbol. The reusable bottles can be returned to local bottle collection points or to liquor shops that collect bottles, where they are washed and reused. Because the bottles are reused, their surfaces may pick up scratches during collection and washing. Such scratches are proof that the bottle is being reused. Even with scratches, the contents are the same as those in a regular bottle, and the sake is just as delicious. Meguru is a sake aimed at a recycling-based society under the slogan "Nihon o Meguru" (circulating Japan). It is made possible only when those who drink, make, sell, and return the bottles come together as one circle.
