The description calls it an aromatic namazake, pointing to a fragrant profile. SMV +5 and acidity 1.4 suggest a fairly dry, clean finish with moderate body, and the nigori-style haze adds some texture and softness.}

About

"Sasa" (笹) is another name for sake. The hazy layer that forms between the settled lees (ori) below and the clear sake above is called "sasa origarami," and brewers have quietly tasted it as the best part of the sake. Otokoyama released this flavor in 1986 so that customers could enjoy the taste the brewers had long treasured. Sasa Origarami is a tokubetsu junmai sake made from highly polished rice. It is an aromatic namazake (unpasteurized sake) that can be enjoyed only in this season.

Available in summer only.
