About
Aiming for sake that embodies "gomi ichinyo" (five tastes in one), in which sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and astringent flavors harmonize, this long-established brewery on the Kunisaki Peninsula in Oita is known as the "Yokozuna of the West." In a bold climate of large seasonal temperature swings, the brewery maintains a commitment to handmade brewing and carries on the true deliciousness of sake. The aroma is subtle, but the fine texture and indescribable richness give this refined, elegant sake its character. It is recommended well chilled or on the rocks. Although it is a sweet style, it also shows a clear acidity and a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel, so it may be enjoyed before a meal, during a meal, or even after dinner.
