A smooth and well-balanced sake. |

Full-bodied with a woody aroma, very rich. Creamy texture, with well-balanced flavours and hints of citrus fruits. Long lingering finish. Also available as a 300ml. |

This sake is perfect for both connoisseurs, and those who are just starting to discover. A brewmaster watches over the koji for 72 hours – without sleeping – to ensure the absolute finest of sakes. A fruity fragrance can be detected amid the full-bodied flavour. Elegant aromas of honey, lily and pear. Delicate flavours of white flowers with a subtle hint of anise. Lemony dry finish. |

This fine rice is polished until only 38% of the grain remains, after which two full months are devoted to nurturing their Junmai Daiginjo Genshu sake to completion. Well, pronounced nose with melon, lemon, bitter orange, green grass, and sage. Very nice balance of minerals, lemon, and bitter orange flavours to give a long-lasting finish without ever overpowering. A sake you can keep drinking throughout a meal or a long evening with friends. |
