Enjoyable to the last sip

Using just gravity to collect drips from fine-grained fermented rice, the brewer waits days to fill the bottles of this premium grade sake. The result is a medium-full body with gorgeous flowery aromas reminiscent of Asian pear. The vibrant finish of savory tastes lingers just long enough to leave you wanting more.
