About
Suimoken (吹毛剣) refers to a renowned blade that appears in Zen writings, one so sharp that a hair drifting against its edge is cut. Named after that sword, this sake was created in pursuit of a sake with a keen, finely honed flavor. Made with 100% Yamada Nishiki grown in Hyogo Prefecture. The brewing alcohol used is also derived from rice.
