Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

About
This sake is brewed from Hidahomare, a sake rice grown in Gifu Prefecture, polished to a rice polishing ratio of 60%. Rich in both aroma and flavor, it pairs well with a wide range of dishes, though it is especially good with light, refreshing fare such as sashimi. In 2018, it received a Gold Award in the Premium Kan Sake category (kan refers to sake served warmed) at the KAN SAKE AWARD.
