About
This sake is brewed with the image of the plum blossom, which endures the cold of winter and blooms vividly and boldly. The sake rice is milled to 60%, and the sake is slowly fermented over a long period at low temperature. Served chilled (hiya), it is slightly dry, but when warmed (kan) it tastes softer.
