Chase the after taste
Always favoring quality over quantity, the team at Saiya Brewing Company uses the utmost care and discipline to create Yuki no Bosha “Junmai Daiginjo.” While many sake have heavy aromas, this one trades that out for a delicious, strong aftertaste. This achievement doesn’t come easy. It requires airtight, low-temperature brewing. This sake has a blend of earthiness and sweetness that can give most other sake a run for their money.
