Rating from Customers

2.3

1 reviews

This sake uses an impressive 85% rice koji—four times the typical amount—paired with the traditional kimoto brewing method to intensify its umami and acidity. It presents a unique balance of sweet and sour flavors, yet its aftertaste remains light. With its rich umami and vibrant color, this sake offers a new sensory experience. It pairs wonderfully with blue cheese, nuts, spicy ethnic dishes, and can even be a dessert wine.
