Description
Kawatsuru Junmai Sanshu55 is a limited, direct-press (jikagumi) namagenshu polished to 55%, representing a more refined milling ratio than typical junmai releases in the Sanshu series. The higher polish reduces the outer layers of the rice grain, yielding a lighter, more elegant flavor profile while the namagenshu treatment maintains cask-strength intensity and freshness.
