Asahimai, a treasured heirloom rice from Okayama, is notoriously difficult to cultivate—its grains loosen easily, and its stalks are prone to lodging. Despite these challenges, it remains highly prized by sake brewers and sushi chefs for its exceptional texture and flavor. This sake offers a medium body with a beautifully rounded profile and a slight viscosity. Expect delicate notes of wildflower honey, sweet tea, and muscat, creating a refined and elegant drinking experience.
