About

Compared with its sister series, Kimoto Junmai Nama Genshu, this sake has a more juicy acidity and a rich, bold, and wild character. The Sawahime summer style is to pour it into a rocks glass filled with ice. For a Japanese-style mojito, float a few spearmint leaves on top and give it a try.
