About
Returning to the essence of sake, this junmai sake has been brewed since the brewery's founding as the foundation of Nakao Sake Brewery, and it is a point of pride for the brewery. Its label has been revived in the lettering style used until the early Showa era. It is slightly sweet, with a gentle mouthfeel that fully draws out the umami of koji. Even after brewing, it is aged for an extended period to give it a mellow finish. Well balanced from chilled to hot-warmed (atsukan), this versatile sake shows a broad range of character.
