About
Secondary fermentation in the bottle (bin-nai nijihakko) gives this sake a lively carbonation, while sweetness is deliberately kept restrained, so it goes down easily. It is a refreshing sake, so take care not to drink too much. Letting the lees settle and drinking only the clear liquid on top is also a pleasure, so please try it. It can be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled.
