Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

About
Made with locally grown sake rice and crisp, clear underground water (fukuryusui) from the Kiso River, this sake was brewed through the cold winter winds of Ibuki-oroshi (the cold wind that blows down from Mount Ibuki), using the skill developed over five gold medals at the Annual Japan Sake Awards. Served with richer-flavored dishes, it brings out the flavor of the food even further. Enjoy it chilled or at room temperature.
