About
Made by a toji who trained at a renowned sake brewery, this junmai sake comes from Satsuma in Kagoshima Prefecture. Carefully selected domestic rice, milled to a rice polishing ratio of 70%, is brewed with crisp, clear subterranean water (fukuryusui) drawn from Mount Kanmuri (Kanmuridake), a sacred peak that rises directly in front of the brewery. The rice's gentle aroma and full, clean flavor are best enjoyed served chilled.
