About

As the name Classic suggests, the rice is barely polished, resulting in a crisp, dry sake in the traditional style. Its clear flavor and refreshing finish carry the character of Homare Kokko, a brand the local brewery has been loved for more than 100 years. This Sae stands out among them, with a richness that brings out the umami of the rice and the distinctive character of fresh new sake. For that reason, it pairs well with sashimi, simmered fish, and other classic sake snacks. Enjoy it straight from opening, or let it breathe for a while to let the flavor expand. It is also good warmed (kan), so it is versatile as an everyday sake. Please enjoy this dry sake shaped by the terroir of Gunma, the land of the Karakkaze (dry winter wind).
