About

This is a standard sake from the Rikishi brand, which is made by Kamaya and shown on the label, with a traditional taste that has not changed over the years. As a Honjozo, it has a rich aroma and body, and a sharp, crisp finish, with a light, smooth mouthfeel. It is enjoyable at room temperature, warmed (kan), or chilled, and the umami of the rice comes through so that it does not tire the palate. Chilled or lukewarm (nurukan) is recommended.
