About
Carefully selected Hyogo Yamada Nishiki was polished in-house to 50% over a long period, and Kyokai No. 9 yeast was used for low-temperature fermentation over about 30 days. The moromi was pressed by hand in the sake press (sakabune), then racked off its lees. The sake was bottle-pasteurized (binkan) and stored in the bottle before shipment.
