About

Its firm acidity is paired with a dense, concentrated umami. The sweetness and umami characteristic of junmai sake come together with the acidity characteristic of kimoto (traditional yeast-starter method), creating a rich tokubetsu junmai sake. Served chilled at 12 to 15°C (about the temperature of well water), or warmed to around 45°C (jokan, upper-warm), the flavor is further enhanced.
