Ryujin “Kakushi Ginjo”
Gunma prefecture
Secret succulence
The name “Kakushi” means secret. It bears this name because this was their secret sake made using secret techniques!

The smooth drinking texture is both rich and dry yet light and sweet with playful swirls of mango, pineapple and even honey.
