New rice, great taste
This sake uses Asahimai rice which has been gaining popularity due to its suitability for brewing. This sake is a testament to the brewers’ skill, as it won first place in the Junmai Daiginjo category at the “Sake Competition 2019.” A luscious aroma falls into a fresh, citrus acidity. Notes of steamed rice and cotton candy push this toward the rich and sweet side in the best way.

Why not pair a delicate snack with delicate junmai daiginjo sake? For sake ware, we recommend glasses or cups that enhance the sake’s fruity aroma.
