About

Tsuchida99 is a sake that lets you experience how the amount of koji changes the flavor of sake dramatically. The focus is on the koji-making time (seikiku jikan), and this bottle has a koji-making time of 41 hours. You may wonder whether changing the koji-making time can really alter the flavor. However, this sake may become an important element for sake that has never appeared even in textbooks. We would very much like you to be present at the moment this new page of history is opened.
