Yamanashi prefecture
Scent and flavor together in harmony
Water from Mt. Fuji is filtered for decades as it trickles down the mountain and through the ground. This precious water, traditional koji and yeast creates this sake made to maximize the appeal as an in-meal beverage. You’ll find the very subtle aroma blending nicely with the sweet, toasted barley and banana notes on the palate. To try with western dishes, sashimi and simmered dishes.
