About

Gentle aroma, rich sweetness, and a crisp, firm acidity make this sake well suited to richly flavored meals. From the Reiwa 1 brewing year (2019), it was refined as a Tokubetsu Junmai with a rice polishing ratio of 60%. Recommended serving temperature: 15–20°C (slightly chilled to room temperature). It is also recommended as atsukan (hot sake) at 50°C, as a calm sake for accompanying food.
