About
Seven namazake, from junmai daiginjo to honjozo, named after the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove (Chikurin no Shichikenjin). Freshly pressed new sake (shiboritate) is bottled without pasteurization (hiire) so it keeps its fresh character. This limited namazake is available only at the brewery.
