Rating from Customers

4 reviews

This sake has the crispness of pure sake, along with a fruity aroma and the rich, full-bodied flavor unique to pure sake. As it matures in the can, it mellows, developing a brandy-like richness. The depth of these changes, unique to aging in nama sake, is something that must be experienced firsthand. We recommend enjoying it chilled, on the rocks, or mixed with soda.
