About
Brewed from Gohyakumangoku rice grown in Joetsu, Niigata, including contract-grown rice, and well water sourced from the satoyama (foothill village) hills, this junmai sake is made using traditional futa-koji (koji made in covered trays). It has a soft mouthfeel, the natural acidity characteristic of junmai, and a karumi (a sense of lightness) that defines its character.
