Description
It has a mellow ripening feeling that lasts over a summer, and is characterized by its round and rich flavor. It has a slight aroma so that it looks even better with hot sake, but it is also perfect for cold sake by finishing it with a taste that is not overpowering. It is an alcoholic beverage that absorbs the taste of food and amplifies its deliciousness.

Over 180 years, the soft water of the clear underwater vein flowing through the grounds of the founding area, the high -quality sake rice growing while repeated research with local farmers, and the wisdom and basic research inherited by Mr. Mori Koshiji. We continue to make sincere sake brewing that is particular about Niigata.
