About
Brewed generously with water drawn from the brewery's own well, Gozensui, and with rice grown under local contract cultivation, this junmai sake from Sasaichi is made in the Sasaichi tradition. Its aroma is gentle, and refreshing acidity and mellow umami come together in good balance. Clean and crisp on the finish, it is a sake that pairs well with food.
