About

A series of seven types of namazake named after the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove (Chikurin no Shichikenjin), ranging from junmai daiginjo to honjozo. Freshly pressed new sake (shiboritate) is bottled in its fresh state without pasteurization (hiire), making this a limited namazake that can only be enjoyed at the brewery.
