This sake has received great praise, thanks to its particularly well-balanced body and unparalleled richness.
Only a limited number of bottles of this exclusive sake are produced each year.
This is the only kimoto-based junmai sake to have won the Gold Medal in the Japan
Brewing Society’s national competition.
What makes this sake different:
1. Deeper taste (more umami) because of Kimoto method.
2. Fits to hearty and creamy dishes.
3. Purer taste (no off-flavors) because of Superflat rice polishing technique (developed by Daishichi).
Catch phrase (logo): “Exclusive sake of unparalleled complexity, depth and richness.”
