This sake gained recognition when it was gifted by the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to then U.S. President Donald Trump during their 2017 Japan-U.S. summit. Crafted with meticulous attention to local ingredients, it uses the premium sake rice Gohyakumangoku from Aizu and a unique yeast strain from Fukushima Prefecture. It features a gentle mouthfeel that unfolds into a clean and crisp dry finish, embodying the spirit of the region and its dedication to quality craftsmanship.
