About
A seasonal limited release, Kiippon (single batch, not blended). The defining feature of Shizuku-dori is the traditional fune-shibori (basket press). Heavy sake bags filled with moromi are stacked one by one, carefully and entirely by hand, a task carried out in the cold brewery in the depths of winter. This is sake pressed slowly over time, one drop at a time. A namazake that offers the youthful character of freshly pressed sake and a fresh, lightly sparkling quality.
