About
Built on a traditional style, this sake uses the yamahai (traditional yeast-starter method) brewing that master brewer Fujita is known for, balancing depth of flavor with a clean finish. Aged for more than three years, it has a well-balanced character that suits everyday evening drinking as well as warmed sake (kan) enjoyed outdoors and on many other occasions.
