About

Tone-Numata, a place of stunning natural beauty, is a fine source of rice. We brewed this junmai nama nigori sake with Koshihikari rice from that fine rice-growing region. The character of the rice comes through in the sake, giving a gently sweet flavor with a distinctive sharp bite and an aftertaste that is hard to put into words. The sake is lively and effervescent and can overflow like champagne, so please take care when opening the bottle.
