Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake

About
Renewed and released in 2021. Aromatic and fruity, with a fragrant bouquet, yet the umami is firmly felt on the palate. The aim was a beautiful, clean taste that is gentle and free of off-flavors, like cherry blossoms that remain lovely right up to the moment they scatter. Recommended serving temperature: 10°C (chilled)
