About
Brewed to bring out the natural umami of the rice, this junmai sake is designed to enhance the flavors of food. On the palate, a faint banana aroma can be detected. Its key features are a full, rounded sweetness from the rice and a subtle bitterness. The finish is clean and short, with a moderate aroma that lingers pleasantly through the nose. It pairs especially well with richly seasoned dishes. Across a wide range of foods, such as ginger pork (shogayaki), horse mackerel fritters (aji furai), and sukiyaki, it brings out the umami of both the dish and the sake.
